She qualified as a teacher and taught for over ten years before coming to notice as the headteacher of the Fogelstad Group's school for women.[1] Under her leadership Kvinnliga medborgarskolan vid Fogelstad was known as "Lilla Ulfåsa".[1] It was founded in 1925 and it continued under her leadership until 1954. This led to her coming the first woman to chair a school board in 1932.

The magazine Tidevarvet was founded in 1923[2][3] (or 1924[4]) by Kerstin Hesselgren, Honorine Hermelin, who was an educator, Ada Nilsson, Elisabeth Tamm, a political politician, and Elin Wägner, who was an author.[5][6]

She married for eight months. In 1947, she married Vilhelm Grønbech but he died within eight months.

Nilsson died in 1964[1] and Hermelin died in Brännkyrka parish in 1977.
