• Certified sexuality advisor
• Bachelor in social education: Homosexuality in people with mental disabilities
• Appointed to the Danish Association of Youth with Disabilities (SUMH)

The first time I took an interest in the field of disability and sexuality was when I was working at an institution for people with severe physical and mental disabilities in 2003. I discovered that despite their severe disabilities their sexuality was flourishing which was surprising for me to discover at the time. It was also surprising to find out that no one knew what to do about it and how to handle it. When I started my bachelor of social education in 2004, it was with a clear aim for me to be able to assist people with disabilities in all aspects of their lives, including sexuality. My thesis was about mental disability and homosexuality, a niche within a niche.

I finished my education as a sexuality advisor in 2010 and shortly after started working in the Danish Association of Youth with Disabilities (DAYD)

In DAYD I have worked on different nation-wide projects regarding disability and sexuality. I have assisted staff on schools for children with special needs to create policies for sexuality. I have also travelled all over the country and given sexuality education to youth with disabilities in a way that is adapted to their exact disability.

I have a company where I provide assistance to people with disabilities and the supporting staff on being better at navigating the difficult and sensitive, yet important area of disability and sexuality.

I am a board member in the Danish Association of Sexuality Advisors and a member of Fagligt Netværk for Seksuel Sundhed (Professional network regarding sexual health)
