Rugbyforbundets nye Generalsekretær!

gs“Eg har drevet med idrett så lenge eg kan huske tilbake, og begynte å spille rugby under et opphold i Australia. Rugby har etter hvert tatt mer og mer plass i livet både på og utenfor banen, styreverv, dugnader, kurs og lignende.

Min aktive bakgrunn innenfor idretten, i tillegg til utdanning innen økonomi, administrasjon, reiseliv og prosjektledelse, håper eg kan vise seg nyttig nå når eg nå tar over jobben som Generalsekretœr. Jeg gleder meg til å begynne og håper vi kan forsette det gode samarbeidet med klubbene, NRF og NIF.

Jobben som generalsekretœr er en 30% stilling, og jeg kommer til å ha kontor dag på Ullevål torsdager, og hjemmekontor tirsdager kveld.”
