RAPID RISE
She ran her first marathon in 2018, the same year she began structured training. In 2020 she met the qualifying standard for the 2020 Olympic Games at the Valencia Marathon in Spain, with a time about 45 minutes faster than what she ran in her first marathon. "It feels like a dream. A fairly new dream, but really something that I fought hard for, to be able to represent Sweden." (friidrottaren.com, 06 Dec 2020; onkologiisverige.se, 21 Oct 2020; svt.se, 15 Oct 2020, 09 May 2021)

OCCUPATION
After qualifying as a doctor in June 2020, she accepted a position as an assistant doctor at the oncology clinic at Gavle Hospital in Sweden. She usually runs before and after work. "I had actually intended to train as a civil engineer, perhaps as a kind of silent protest against my parents who are both doctors. But even though I was a little reluctant at first, my interest in medicine took over and I have never regretted my choice. A doctor is a safe profession."
