About me

I am 42 years old and have worked in fisheries control for 14 years. I started my career as a fisheries inspector but have also worked as a coordinator for fisheries inspectors on the westcoast of Sweden. I have worked some with control of salmon fishing in northern Sweden and some experience in control of pelagic unsorted landings.

I live on the westcoast in Sweden with my husband and a two-year-old son. We love camping and being out in the woods!
