ABOUT ME


Swedish reporter in the US.

Print – tv – radio – research.


In 2014, I moved to New York to pursue a career as a foreign correspondent.


Since then, I’ve had the opportunity to work for some of the largest media outlets in Sweden: Aftonbladet, SVT, Sveriges Radio, TV4, TT, Svenska Dagbladet, GP.


I’ve been reporting from all corners of the US, but also from Israel/Gaza, North Korea, Japan, Costa Rica, Cuba.


For foreign media as well; as a reporter for NRK (Norway), researcher for BBC (UK) and TF1 (France). I've also been published in the Spectator (UK).


Nowadays I work exclusively for Aftonbladet, the largest newspaper in Scandinavia, with 4 million daily readers. 


In 2020-2021 I've reported on the everything from US presidential election, to the storming of the Capitol in DC on Jan 6., on abortion, BLM-protests, the Harvey Weinstein trial, the Israeli–Palestinian conflict in Gaza, and the drug cartel’s tunnels on the US-Mexican border.
Among other things.

No topic is too big or small, but migration, social issues, equality, crime and justice, are the issues close to my heart.
