Election plattform

With a background as a mathematician educated at the University of Oslo, followed by several years of experience in education and student administration, I now wish to contribute as the voice of the technical and administrative staff in the university board.

Throughout an active study period, during which I engaged in student councils and societies, I developed a deep understanding of the university's values, strengths, and challenges from the student perspective. In my several years as an student adviser at the department, I built on this foundation and gained firsthand experience with the challenges that arise in interactions with both students and academic staff. Combined with my current position at the faculty level, I bring extensive insight into the issues we technical and administrative staff face in our busy daily work across various levels and workplaces.

Should I earn your trust on the university board, I will emphasise the importance of the professional expertise that the technical and administrative staff possess. I will particularly work to highlight that our effort and expertise are essential in the development of innovative and effective solutions that underpin world-class teaching and research.

I will also advocate for increased collaboration between academic and technical-administrative staff to ensure a cohesive and productive environment for both employees and students. With mutual respect and cooperation, we lay the foundation for an even better study and working environment at Norway's best university.

I hope for your vote so that I may have the opportunity to use my broad experience and commitment to represent you in the best possible way. If I earn your trust, I will be attentive and receptive to feedback from good colleagues across the entire University of Oslo. Together, we can work towards a university that values both academic and administrative excellence.

Best of luck with your voting!
