Important future issues for the faculty and how I can contribute:

It is important that the faculty works with economic stability and develops work at the animal hospital without negatively affecting the economy, the research or the teaching. I have been part of the clinical work at the faculty during a long time and experienced many different management strategies. That experience can be beneficial for the faculty board so that we can make long-term viable decisions when it comes to infrastructure questions.  

The members of the staff are the faculty’s main resource. I want to work with strategies for career paths and development of teachers and researchers in order to strengthen the faculty for the future. Since I am responsible for the development of my staff, I am well aware of the faculty’s strengths and weaknesses within the area.

Personal reflections:

I believe that the committee should work on behalf of the whole faculty’s development in a “bottom-up” structure. I have always appreciated when the committee has had deeper discussions with the institutions and the head of the departments. This is something I would like to further develop in order to strengthen the democratic process at the university. I think the committee should give teachers and institutions the necessary prerequisites and support to develop their ideas and goals, which leads to high quality research and teaching.
