I work as an independent journalist with various assignments related to media, journalism, culture, politics and civil activism in East Africa and Denmark. Currently (January to June 2018) I work part time as Project Manager at Copenhagen Main Library within the framework of the International Cities of Refuge Network (ICORN) with the Sudanese political cartoonist, Khalid Albaih.

In 2000 I moved to Serbia to co-establish the Next Stop Serbia campaign aiming at breaking down stereotypes between Serbs and Danes by promoting civic action and creativity by making people collaborate via personal interests. During the same period of time I also worked with the establishment of South Eastern European Youth Network, enabling ex-Yugoslavian youth working across new borders.
​
I lived in West Nile in Northern Uganda from 2005-7 where I worked with South Sudanese refugees and civic education along and across the border to Sudan. I moved on to Dar es Salaam in Tanzania working as information officer for an international NGO for 2½ years.

In 2017 I completed an MA in African Studies at the University of Copenhagen with a thesis on the topic of political transition in Tanzania.

I've written for Global Voices since about 2008. Mainly on issues related to East Africa and South Sudan.
