Apprentice profile

Born 1979 in Gothenburg Sweden. I had a happy childhood with fighting sisters – and my mother and father are inspirations. My mother always sought spiritual meaning so it was natural for me to seek. My father is an artist—working as a graphic artist—and from him I inherited my aesthetic personality. In 2003 I married to Johannes and in May 2006 we had our first child, Yim. We are a happy family living in a two room flat in a good neighbourhood just near a big park in Gothenburg. I love my family, they are the most important thing in my life. My big passion in life is making a good cup of coffee. I am the manager of a coffee bar and I competed in the ‘Barista Cup’ – achieving third place. Working an espresso machine is a great job – it fits my personality well, as one has to be a perfectionist. Besides drinking coffee, I like to dance. As a teenager funk and hiphop were favourites. I also danced for ‘marching bands’ – in a mini-skirt and uniform jacket with pom-poms. I read interior decoration magazines and have a clean and well organised home. I like to clean. I buy the most expensive dish-cloths and detergent. I like growing plants, sitar music, Rajastani costume, service-minded people, evening walks in town, looking at people’s clothes, time with good friends, and having a bath with fragrant oil.
