Having worked as a teacher for a few years, I graduated as a laboratory technician from Aarhus Business Academy in the summer of 2013. I spent the final training period at AU, Bioscience, and later had a couple of temporary jobs there. I am happy to be back at the university and look forward to working with e.g. the core scanner and, of course, being a part of Geoscience staff. "
