As a player I will bring hard work, physicallity and speed. I am also very competitive. As a person I will bring smile, friendliness, and dedication.

Now you will be part of next year's squad, what qualities do you think are important in an ice hockey player?

There are many qualities that are important in an ice hockey player. Hard work, physicallity, passion etc. But I would say that the most important quality an ice hockey player should have is to be a great team player. As a team, you can have many great ice hockey players, but if we do not play as a team, we can never bring a success to the team.

Göteborg HC has stated that we want to make a restart and build a team with a clear idea, how do you think about your role in building a team with a strong us?

I am fast defenceman who makes smart playes. I like to support offense a lot.

What do you want to develop as a hockey player?

I need to work on my stick skills and shots. I would like to also work on my mentality.

What are your expectations for the coming season?

I really hope I will be help my team to success this season.

Do you have a role model? Describe why.

My mom is my biggest role model. I can see her working hard every day. She always did her best so my brothers and I had everything we needed. Whithout her I would never be who I am now as a person and as a hockey player.

What is your passion?

My passion has always been ice hockey. Other than that, I like animals. I have a bunny. I like working out, hiking, biking and sleep.
