Civic Life
Participation and service
I believe that a thriving society is built when people choose to participate. My civic life is shaped by volunteering, advocacy, public dialogue and a commitment to strengthening identity, belonging and opportunity for all.
I choose to contribute my time to organisations that strengthen communities, expand opportunities and encourage people to participate in shaping society. While each organisation has a different mission, they share values that closely reflect my own: inclusion, leadership, innovation, collaboration and belonging.
Organisations I Support
I support organisations that strengthen communities, inspire innovation and create opportunities for people to participate. Together, they reflect the values that guide my civic life: belonging, collaboration, leadership and service.
FKA – Association of Women in Business

FKA represents the kind of community I believe in: one that empowers women through leadership, collaboration and meaningful connections. As someone who has built a life between cultures, finding a place where I felt I belonged inspired me not only to participate, but also to give back.
TEDx Copenhagen
_____________
I believe conversations have the power to shape how we understand ourselves, one another, and the societies we build. Supporting TEDx Copenhagen reflects my commitment to dialogue, lifelong learning, and creating spaces where different perspectives can lead to greater understanding and belonging.
Ideas Worth Sharing

_____________
Innovation is about more than technology. It is about creating opportunities, solving challenges, and bringing people together around new ideas. I believe the strongest innovation happens when people with different experiences and perspectives work together to create solutions that benefit everyone.
