Graduated as PhD in Public Health and Epidemiology from the University of Copenhagen in October 2019. Since 2012 I have been working in the Palliative Care Research Unit, at Bispebjerg Hospital with quality improvement in the Danish Palliative Care Database and with research in specialized palliative care. My research has primarily focused on patient reported outcomes among patients in specialized palliative care and lately also in basic palliative care. Since 2022 I am working half time as epidemiologist in The Danish Clinical Quality Program – National Clinical Registries (RKKP). For the past ten years I have also been teaching at Copenhagen University, primarily medical students but also public health students.
