Three words that encapsulate your Northeastern University experience:
Growth, Opportunity, Innovation
What has your journey revealed to you about yourself?
That I am capable of much more than I thought, and that I thrive when placed in a challenging environment.
What motivated you to continue through challenging times in obtaining your degree?
Really appreciating the process itself, understanding that anything truly worthwhile comes with challenges.
Experiential learning is a core component of a Northeastern education. Describe some of the highlights for you.
Although I didn’t participate in co-op myself, I learned immensely through conversations with peers who did. Their stories and insights gave me a broader understanding of real-world applications.
Where do you imagine yourself five years from now?
Leading with purpose, driving innovation and delivering value in Finance and Technology within the Norwegian market, bringing a global perspective and inspiring others through my journey.
Is there anything else you wanted to say that we didn’t cover?
I want to emphasize that your experience here is entirely in your hands. Northeastern offers an incredible range of resources, you can use none or all of them. If you want the most out of your time, step outside your comfort zone. Do the uncomfortable things, explore resources even if you don’t think you need them, email professors, and connect with as many people as you can. One conversation can change your life.
