I became a nurse in 1986, took health and social administration in 1994, public health nursing education in 1996, and guidance pedagogy in 2001. I took a master’s degree in mental health work in 2010 with a focus on children and young people’s mental health. In 2019, I became a Marte Meo therapist. My work experience from the specialist health service is in the premature and children’s department and I have many years of experience in the municipality as a public health nurse both in the health station, school health service, health station for youth, and family center. In addition, I have worked as an advisor in environment, health and safety at Sørlandet Hospital, been a professional advisor at Barns Beste,the National Competence Network for Children as Next of Kin and led the establishment and continuation of Blå Kors Children’s Station, which is a service aimed at children aged 0-12 years who are growing up in families with many simultaneous challenges in their everyday life. Furthermore, I have been the project manager for the “Drop-out project” (prevent drop out of drug treatment) at the research unit, department for drug and addiction treatment (ARA) SSHF. I have been permanently employed at the Institute for Health and Nursing Science since August 2019, and teach on the master’s in public health nursing and bachelor’s nursing. I am currently in a first lecturer course.
