About Me
I am an outgoing and creative team player with a passion for economic and strategic analysis.

I have various organisational experience as the head controller in the Student Society, leader of the External Affairs Committee at NHH and as a national board member of the Norwegian Officers Association's student Board. Previously held various positions in the conservative party, regionally.

I am looking for new experiences to develop on the professional, academic and personal level. Strong interest in economic and strategic analysis. I enjoy working in teams and would describe myself as a process oriented person who puts value in good planning.
