About
I am a project assistant and facilitator at the Center for Arts & Interculture (CKI), where I contribute to EU-funded projects, design and lead workshops, and help create spaces where artists, participants, and audiences can meet in a vibrant and explorative community.
My background spans both Denmark and Ireland. I have designed and led workshops abroad, collaborated on international theatre productions, and hold a postgraduate degree in Theatre and Performance Studies from the University of Copenhagen, alongside MA studies in Theatre and Performative Practices at University College Cork, Ireland.
With experience as an actor and dramaturgical consultant, I bring sharp artistic insight, strong communication skills, and an entrepreneurial approach to my work. I thrive at the intersections between art, community, and dialogue, and see artistic practice as a tool for change and connection. Working across theatre, film, and performance I am driven by creating inclusive artistic spaces, developing workshops, and supporting international collaborations.
