I was born and raised in Norway. In my early childhood I lived in Finmark, in the north of Norway. When I was five we moved to a small town in Telemark called Notodden, where I lived for most of my youth. I did an International Baccalaureate at Skagerak International School in Sandefjord. After completing the IB I moved to the UK to study a BA in Media Arts at Royal Holloway. While I have always loved films, at Royal Holloway I discovered how much I love screenwriting and realised that is what I wanted to do with my life.
