Speaker Bio
Psychologist and project manager working at the Specialist Consultancy for the Deafblind in the North Denmark Region. Working in the practice field, I try to bridge the gap between research and practice by focusing on knowledge development and building competence in the different kinds of projects. Projects about Usher syndrome and the qualitative experiences of people with Usher syndrome sparked my interest and have been my starting point for working in the deafblind field. I’m still very interested in the qualitative experiences of people living with deafblindness as well as the perspectives of the relatives, and I think these aspects can offer a lot to the knowledge development in the deafblind field. Though I’m biased working alongside very experienced consultants and in the practice field, one of the things I also focus on is how research can be made applicable to practice.
