After a decade in research spanning a PhD, postdoc, and bioinformatics roles in health and medical science data, I moved into data strategy at DTU Bioengineering, where I now lead data architecture, FAIR data implementation, storage and compute infrastructure, and GDPR governance. Alongside this, I serve as Programme Lead for Data Science Resources at DDSA, working across Danish universities on data infrastructure, compute access, and conditions that make good data science possible. I also teach data management, research communication, intro courses in data analysis, cloud computing and AI.

The move from research to data strategy was one I navigated largely on my own, and it stays with me because I know how much it helps to have someone in your corner who has been through something similar. I have built experience across bioinformatics, data analysis, data organisation, governance, AI, and cloud computing, and I want to bring that into conversations with people trying to do data science more effectively building better practices, understanding governance, and creating the foundations that make data work. That is what draws me to mentoring, and why I genuinely look forward to it.
