In my current role as Managing Editor for SVT News Jämtland, I lead Swedish Television’s regional station in Sweden’s Northwest. Prior to my move to Sweden, I was Content Manager for Audio and Language Content at SBS Australia.

Prior to joining SBS, I managed the English language output at the international and multicultural arm of Swedish Broadcasting in Stockholm, building on my early experience in news and current affairs with public and commercial broadcasters in Japan, the UK and Sweden. My first job in media was as a television news reporter - in Japanese - for Asahi Broadcasting Corporation in Japan.
