Guide Persona

Name: Katarina Sundqvist
Age: 27
Hometown: Uppsala, Sweden

Background:

Katarina studies History and Ethnographics at the Stockholm university, and is currently working on her master thesis. For the past x years she has been working part time as a museum tour guide, sharing her interests with visitors from near and far. She aspires to become a historian, and would not say no to traveling the world and discover ancient artifacts and mysteries. Katarina lives in a small apartment outside of Stockholm with her roommate.

Personality:

Katarina considers herself a little nerdy, and loves her job even though the pay is low. She is confident talking in front of people, and thinks that the best part of being a guide is to get people interested in things that they used to find boring. Katarina is very creative and makes her own historical outfits that she sometimes wears during tours, seminars or other gatherings. She also likes to bring props, the fancier the better! When not working or studying, Katarina enjoys reading fictional books or watching Dr Who.

Today:

She is trying to find a postgraduate position so she can get her PhD. Since this is not easy, she enjoys working with something related to her field of study.
