I graduated with a PhD in Social Sciences in 2022, majoring in social work. In my dissertation, I examined the effectiveness of care management models for older people using a mixed-method approach. My areas of expertise and interest are in older people’s well-being and care management, in addition to effectiveness research and promoting the effectiveness of social services. Currently, I work as University Lecturer in social work and researcher in the SOLDEX project and NÄPSÄ project.
