      Aug 2012 - Oct 2015
      Swim coach

      As a coach at Täby Sim, I had to manage the knowledge from my own swimming career in my home club. I was responsible for planning, implementing and following up swim training and competition for my groups. I was also responsible during camps and competitions.The work has required the ability to translate the theory from Simlinjen into practical training, good handling in the meeting with practitioners and the parents of children and being able to meet the needs of each individual swimmer. Through Täby sim I have worked with swim training and swimming school for children between 2-13 years and worked in a kiosk. I am a trained Simlinje assistant and have knowledge of both adult and child CPR. Lessons include understanding of successful pedagogy, that everyone is good in their own way but can always develop and that much can be learned from each other, both training and people skills.

      Aug 2015 - Feb 2016

      This internship is organized through Tekniksprånget, a venture by IVA on behalf of the National Agency for Education. At my engineering internship at Swedavia's automotive department, I got to participate and hold on to smaller and larger projects. I got to gather and compile information, attend meetings and work in the IFS business system and Excel, all with good feedback from my supervisors and colleagues. Together with my three fellow interns, we got to explore different parts of Swedavia's major activities, make study visits and represent Swedavia and Tekniksprånget in upper secondary schools. The most important lesson from the internship was a deeper insight into what it is like to work as an engineer and valuable connections and guidelines for the future. Show less
