I am a PhD student of organization studies at the Department of Business Studies, Uppsala University. Prior to commencing my PhD I undertook studies at Lund University, Malmö University, Kristianstad University (Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration), California Lutheran University, Uppsala University (Master's Degree in International Business), and University of Melbourne.

My research interests revolve around organizational identity, commodification, and competition in the context of Swedish upper secondary schools. I am supervised by Professor Stefan Arora-Jonsson, Professor Maria Blomgren, and Associate Professor Henrik Dellestrand. The research is funded by the Swedish Research School of Management and IT (MIT).
