Academic qualifications: MagNSc (GU), MagMedSc PhLic PGDip (KI)

Biography

By profession, I am a specialist nurse, Ph.Lic. and authorized sexologist (Specialist in Sex Education, Sexual Health Promoter [NACS]). Before starting as a lecturer, I worked in emergency departments, clinical trials of HIV and hepatitis medications, and HIV/STI screening. I maintain clinical contact and experience through per diem work with sexual health and HIV/STI screenings at the outpatient clinic, Stockholms Mansmottagning. It is essential to stay up to date clinically and know about the everyday work-life of nursing colleagues.

From my undergraduate years, my passion has been the health and care needs of sexual minority patients (LGBTQ). My focus has been on older adults in the last few years. Theoretically, my work is influenced by critical theories (gender, queer, and crip theories), particularly how that intersects with gerontology.

In February 2025, I started as Director of Studies for the majority of the coursework in the nursing program taught at the Department of Public Health and Caring Sciences.

Research

My licentiate thesis research has focused on symptom management, adherence to a mHealth intervention, and its effect on self-care ability and health literacy in a group of men treated with radiotherapy for prostate cancer.

In my continuation from licentiate to doctorate at Åbo Akademi University, the focus is the sex life in sexual minority men after prostate cancer treatment.
