I have always struggled to make priorities as there are so many exciting things do do, learn, see and experience.

My education has been four years of industrial chemistry at NTNU, with a specialization in physical chemistry. Now I have studied at NTNU School of Entrepreneurship for a year and have one more to go. I spend this summer in Boston (US) studying Entrepreneurship at a summer program at Boston University.

I am currently working in Technium, a start-up company developing reTyre. My role is CMO, but in practice I'm involved in a variety of activities - like in any small start-up. Our vision is to make people change and adapt their bicycle tire in the same manner as they do with shoes today! Our first product is on its way to the production facilities - stay tuned.

In 2014 I was elected as a student member of the Board of Directors at NTNU, and had a full time position at the university and the student parliament from August 2014 with a duration of a year. I find it very interesting, challenging and meaningful to be in the role as a board member. Now I am a student member of the Board of Directors in our student welfare organization, Sit, and look forward to new challenges, discussions and experiences in the years to come. I'm also a member of a network which is set up by iStyrelsen, connecting board members in Trønderlag in Norway. I hope to gain more knowledge of the role as a board member and learn from people with more experience from being a part of this network.

On a personal level I enjoy sports and the outdoors. I have played football, handball and volleyball at some point in my life, and as a direct consequence of our wonderful startup I now seek to get more into cycling myself. For a start, I do own a racer bike.

I also love to travel, meet new people, challenge myself and try out new things. If you would like to contact me, feel free to do so on LinkedIn, Twitter or mail ([email protected]).
