- Kortspelet KlimatkollScientist / communicatorEDUCATION & E-LEARNINGAugust 2018 - Today (6 years and 10 months)Berlin, GermanyI am working in a project that aims to spread climate knowledge to students and teachers by using a card game about climate impacts. I have worked with everything from developing a new version of the game by using an Excel model to calculate greenhouse gas emissions, and developing various types of learning materials in connection to the game, to webdesign, marketing, and sales (with direct contact with potential customers). The learning material and game that we develop are used in schools all over Sweden as educational material.

Education
- Master of Science, Industrial EcologyChalmers University of Technology2013Engineers from the industrial ecology programme analyze and contribute to sustainable technical solutions in industry, consultancy, governmental agencies and research. The programme aims to equip students with the competencies, knowledge and tools needed to analyze environmental impacts and resource constraints, to suggest and develop measures and to plan, lead, evaluate and follow up the effects of measures related to for example product development, land and resource use, energy systems, and large-scale urban planning processes. Industrial Ecology provides a solution-oriented engineering approach to environmental and sustainability problems.
