Pernille is a social activist passionate about cycling and gender equality. With degrees from the TATA Institute of Social Sciences, Mumbai, and the University of Copenhagen, she transitioned from the corporate world to focus on non-profit work. Over the past decade, she has been deeply involved with the Association of Women for Action and Research in India and Singapore, teaching teenagers about trust, self-esteem, gender, relationships, and more.
