__________________________________________________________________________

Started playing hockey 2013, since then the sport has been my passion. The first years I attended youth camps, select camps, and played minor series in Sweden and Denmark. Later, I played international AAA tournaments in Latvia, Belarus, Germany, and China.

At age 15 I left home and family to join a junior elite team. One year later I was accepted by the oldest national hockey high school in Sweden. Being Swedish-American I have since January 2022 been living in the US, focusing high school and hockey, preparing for college. 

I am a multi-sport athlete competing in ice-hockey and soccer on my high school´s varsity teams. I have done many sports like taekwondo and downhill skiing but taking on challenges with others is why I love team sports. Teamwork is a success factor on ice as well as off ice.

Studying is important and I enjoy demanding programs and exploring new areas. I love to perform, in school as well as in athletics. Finally, I value friendships highly!
