About Me

Storyteller. Researcher.
Ocean Lover.

I help nature-driven travel brands tell stories that feel real — stories rooted in lived experience, not recycled marketing language.

M

y journey started with science, not marketing. During my studies, I gained a deep foundation in ecology, conservation, and human-wildlife interactions. That combination is still the core of my storytelling today.

The Deep Dive

Research Zodiacs in North Iceland

This is where my work truly took shape. I spent multiple summers with the Húsavík Research Centre, working full-time on 5-meter research zodiacs.

The Bridge

Whale Watching Guide & Storyteller

I moved to the tourism side, working as a guide for North Sailing. Standing on deck, telling stories about humpbacks and orcas, I saw firsthand how nature touches people.
