🧩6 hats, 1 research assistant!🎬
From designing visuals and writing science stories to planning events and digging into data—this week has been a whirlwind peek into my world at UHE.
Taking part in #scicommUU25 reminds me how valuable it is to talk about science.

📣Plot twist: I’m a research assistant who does... research! 😲🔍
I know—I’ve talked about design, events, and comms... but let’s not forget the core of it all: data.
Lately, I’ve been diving into national health registers (hello Excel, my old friend 👋).

Let’s talk science!💬
My goal is to translate complex health economics into stories that stick. I write posts on LinkedIn and Substack to share what we do with researchers and the curious minds out there. Why keep great science locked behind paywalls and jargon?

🎤Big moments, big impact!🌍
From a scientific conference #EPHEconference to a kick-off, I help bring people (and ideas) together!
Behind every smooth event is a whirlwind of planning, but it’s all about creating the space where science can connect and grow.

🎨Designing science? Yes, please!
One of my favorite hats to wear at Uppsala Health Economics (UHE) is my designer one. Visuals matter. They’re not just pretty—they’re powerful tools to communicate science better.
Stay tuned for a sneak peek of my next creation! 👀

🧠Curious about what I do?🧠
I’m the right arm of Uppsala Health Economics (UHE) and wear many hats—I’m a science communication & coordinator, event organizer, and designer! Cool, right?
