I’ve always been drawn to what lies beneath the surface. If I had not become a lawyer, I would probably have become a psychiatrist or an author. In the end, I chose law because it brings many worlds together and leaves room for my own way of thinking. It challenges the mind, demands precision, and still offers space for empathy.

I am most at ease by the sea in Denmark or lost in the pages of a good crime novel. In my work, I feel the same kind of pull toward difficult questions whose answers are not obvious from the start. Every case is a puzzle to me. I enjoy piecing together details until they form a clear picture and, finally, that quiet moment when everything makes sense.

My work is driven by a search for the best possible solution. I appreciate mandates that are multifaceted and allow for true collaboration with my clients. The most important quality in that relationship is openness. Especially in tax law, clarity depends on complete information and mutual trust. Fast responses and a calm, structured approach are part of how I work.

What sets me apart is the importance I place on the human side of every matter. I want people to feel comfortable and understood because that is where the best results grow. I am inspired by many personalities, especially Frida Kahlo, who turned hardship into expression and strength. Still, I believe in finding my own path, guided by curiosity rather than by a single role model.

I’ve always enjoyed riddles and anything that invites a closer look. There’s something grounding about following small clues and watching a picture emerge. It reflects the mindset I bring to my work: attentive, curious, and patient enough to let clarity unfold.

At NEON, what matters most to me are the people. Exchange, cooperation and shared thinking create an environment where ideas grow and solutions improve. This sense of working together is what makes every day here worthwhile for me.
