Socionom graduate from Roskilde University and Master in Vulnerable Children and Adolescents from Aalborg University. Many years of practical experience with authority work and case work with vulnerable children and their families in municipalities. Dilligent editor and co-writer of textbooks on the social area - fx 'Socialt arbejde i et globaliseret samfund - udfordringer til en profession' (Forlaget Samfundslitteratur, 2015) og 'Socialrådgivning og socialt arbejde - en grundbog' (Reitzel, 2016). I have produced educational material for the continuing and professional education of professionals - fx the educational movie 'Samtaler med børn' (in cooperation with Karen Asta Bo).
