About me

I grew up in Listerby, a small village in Sweden, in a family where everything was possible if you worked hard enough. Entrepreneurship ran through generations. I pitched ideas to my father with hand-drawn sketches, and he always took them seriously. At eight, my brother and I started our first company: delivering fresh bread buns door to door before the neighbours were awake, every Saturday morning for eight years. In between, I spent hours in the garage building things I had envisioned. I was creative, restless, and certain that ideas were only as good as what you built from them.

​

The human body has always thrilled me with its complexity, its logic, its fragility. My grandmother, a nurse and university lecturer, shared new research with me as a child, and I grew up reading popular science books and magazines.  I wanted to build something. To innovate for health. And over time I realised that almost every idea needs technology to become real, so engineering was how. 

​

When I later on encountered immunotherapy, everything clicked: the body already holds the tools to fight cancer. The question is whether we know how to unlock them, and whether the body receiving treatment was ever truly ready. That question is what drives everything I build.

​

Alongside my research, I care deeply about who gets to be part of building the future of medicine. I founded Emerging Leaders within VILDA, Sweden's premier network for senior women in life science, after being invited to join below their standard criteria, and built Pepp Skåne from scratch to inspire young women across southern Sweden to pursue STEM careers. I have also developed my leadership and commercial skills along the way, growing corporate revenue by 300% leading a team of 7 and organising an 80-exhibitor fair in 5 months.
