2015 Highlights
2016 HighlightsPersonal Statement
My ultimate goal is to be successful in life. Collegiate soccer can provide me the opportunity to excel on the pitch while getting a first class education. Having been raised in a culturally diverse background, I've been taught to work hard for my dreams and to attack every endeavor with a passion and commitment for success. I speak 3 languages and have achieved great academic results at 3 international schools and currently in an advanced private high school. While living abroad and playing soccer at the highest level in 3 different countries (UK, Australia, US), I have learned to adapt to different coaching styles and team environments. This has taught me to become an adaptable and coachable player, always with a desire and commitment for being the best I can be. I am a Norwegian citizen and have a permanent residency in US (green card).

- The biggest highlight of my soccer achievement was in Australia in December 2013 when I was selected as one of the top 16 soccer players to represent Western Australia in Australian National Championship in Canberra where I played both in holding mid-field and right back positions. I was professionally trained by Kenny Lowe, the current head coach of Perth Glory SC in A-league Australia to excel in any of these two positions, but holding mid-field (#6) was the position I enjoyed mostly to play. I was also part of the National Training Center (NTC) program from fall 2012 to summer 2014 before I left Australia to USA.
