I work as a Research Coordinator at the Umeå School of Sports Sciences and the Floorball Research and Development Centre (IKC). Within IKC, I work in close collaboration with the Swedish Floorball Federation as well as national and international research partners.
My research focuses on injury epidemiology, injury prevention, and health in sport, with a particular emphasis on floorball. I am the project leader of Elite Sports North, a project examining outcomes of dual careers among students who combine elite sport with academic studies.
