About Athlete
Throughout my entire childhood both academics and sports have been important to me. The possibility of combining these two parts of me, in an American college is the dream. I went on a youth exchange last year, to Washington, USA. This being the best year of my life so far, makes me want to come back to continue this.

What makes you different?
I have what it takes to become a college golfer because of my long experience. I have already played school golf in America, and I am a decent student, who is able to perform both on the golf course and in the classroom.
Why do you want to compete in college?
The main reason is that I have a passion for golf, and it is one of my dreams. Another reason is that many of my friends, both Norwegian and American play sports, and golf is one of the sports played the most.
College Goals?
Sporting wise and academically, I want to develop my golfing skills into becoming a decent college golf player. To me academics are important, and I want to earn a degree within business, finance or economics.
Anything else we should know?
I have a huge passion for helping others and the inspiration of traveling internationally.
