Through my engagements I have acquired experience in the field of museum work, both as an academic employee and as a museum keeper as a substitute. I have work experience within registration, working with projects, and transmission of history. This means that I have a relative wide knowledge of many of the different museum tasks. History is my whole life, I am particurlarly a great lover of the following subjects: the history of the European monarchies, Nordic history, family history and political history. Through my work experience I have had the opportunity of looking into and soak myself in different parts of the history of Denmark. I am motivated by the good and well-told story with both local, national and international perspectives. This means a great diversity and flexibility in relation to the workplaces, where I can make use of my history professional qualifications.
