BIOGRAPHY
For starters my family heritage is Norwegian in case you were wondering where my interesting name came from, ha! I’m 18 years old fresh out of high school and I’m loving life! My favorite sounds are rain, laughter, and fire. I love traveling, seeing new places and experiencing new things, and meeting new people.
Anything to do with the arts are huge passions of mine whether it be singing, drawing, photography, writing, listening to music, and playing the piano … and I love that I can incorporate any of those things into a way to worship my Lord.

5. Which single person in your life has most shaped who you are now? Why?
My dad definitely. He passed away in February 2008 and it has caused me to realize what a man of God he really was and the morals and integrity he had. My dad was a BIG man, not only in stature but also in personality and in character. I hope to live my life with as much passion and zeal as he had; he truly lived every day to the fullest. He was driven in life to “walk across the room” and talk to anyone who he felt God was putting on his heart … that spoke to me to listen for God’s voice and be obedient. There are many more things I could say about my dad, but these things are what stick with me most in my everyday life.

11. Describe the best vacation you’ve been on.
Oh man, our family vacation from two summers ago for sure. We drove down the coast of Oregon & California to experience all the fun things there and on the way down. It was my dad, mom, two sisters and me with our small amount of luggage driving down in our Honda Element. We prohibited anything electronics so we could focus on each other and being together. We stopped at the sea lion caves, went to Disneyland for the first time, visited friends and family, walked through the Redwoods, went to the beach, Universal Studios, Hollywood, Beverly Hills & Rodeo Drive where I tried on a 54-thousand dollar ring at Tiffany’s … and so, so, so much more! It was our first real family vacation together, and I truly can’t remember a time when we had as much fun together and laughed together as much either. I’ll remember that trip for the rest of my life and want to take my own family on a trip just like it when I get married and have kids!
