What drives your professional development and your career?
I’m still in the early stages of my career, but what keeps me motivated is the opportunity to learn, grow, and actively contribute to Greenland’s place in international affairs. My biggest drivers are curiosity and the desire to build meaningful connections between people and cultures. But beyond that, I want to create positive impact—not just for my country, but also for those whose voices are often underrepresented in global conversations.
Can you pinpoint a pivotal point in your career or life that has led you to where you are today?
The biggest turning point was my injury. At the time, it felt like I was losing a a lot I had worked for. I had never pictured myself in academia—coming from an artistic background, I viewed it as very Western and patriarchal, often lacking space for different worldviews. But I also realized that change sometimes has to happen from within the systems, which made me follow a path I previously thought was not for me.
Being in that space made me more aware of how important it is to challenge existing structures while also using the opportunities available to you. That experience shaped how I approach diplomacy—bringing different perspectives to the table, questioning norms, and finding ways to make room for voices that aren’t always included.
