Book publisher

I am a publisher of children’s and baking books. I continue to look after those with a dream to get their story out, about something that has touched (their) lives.

Bagekurset in Danish(The Baking Course). The baker that got flour allergy and started teaching the secrets of baking to private people.

Ildfluer in Danish(Fireflies) . The mother of five dreaming of getting a story out about fireflies that helped children find hope in the concentration camps during the war through a well-known story in Eastern Europe. A story that ended up in Danish national TV-news involving a musical, where the survivors relived their childhood memory with school children and well-known actors, performing under better circumstances. See also the Danish television interview with Karla Alexandra Nielsen from 2015.

Hobbyist filmmaker

I love to film with drones and do video editing as a hobby. In 2016 I was asked to film at a friendly competition between the Danish and German chef team, warming up for the Olympics, where ministers and Prince Joachim from the Danish Royal family participated. Denmark won the competition.
