Bio
Linda Öhman
Tanya worked with us at the SEU for approximately seven months. Tanya is flexible, committed and hard working. She was constantly ready to support with new tasks. She delivered very well in a structured and analytical way, even when I myself had not been able to provide a concrete starting point. Most notably, Tanya prepared the SEU's first annual report, taking what was essentially an idea and transforming into a concrete delivery that will serve the unit well and inspire the way in which we will continue to prepare annual reports in coming years.
