From the Bronx to Boden
Marisa Pettersson grew up in the New York City borough of the Bronx before moving to Boden with her husband in 2012. As project coordinator at our construction site, Marisa’s work varies a lot – from coordinating site visits and meetings to supporting site services.
“My husband is from Boden, actually. We met at Manhattan College, where we were both on the track team. That’s still a big part of our life – we are both still runners and my husband is president of the local athletics club. We have three kids, and we had to choose whether to raise the family in New York or Boden, so we picked Boden!
In college I studied film and communications, and then went into event planning and production. When we came here, I got a job as a project coordinator for one of the big data center projects in Luleå before coming to H2 Green Steel. I like the work a lot. At the end of the day, it’s all about dealing with people. And I think I’m good at that.
I love Boden. I love that it is small. And Sweden as a country is family-first. And Boden is like a big family. I love the town. It’s easy.”
