Why did you apply to Borregaard? 
There are three main factors that made Borregaard attractive to me: The trainee programme, innovation, and sustainability. As a student, I was unsure where I would fit in, thus the trainee program is crucial as it allows me to experience Borregaard from different departments. I also believed that the innovation focus would shape my workday and career and contribute to both me and Borregaard continuing to develop in the face of new challenges. 

How has the trainee period been so far? 
Fantastic. I have learned and experienced so much, and at the same time felt that I have been able to contribute! I have met many nice and helpful people who really make my days. Good colleagues are worth their weight in gold. 

What are you looking forward to the most? 
I am looking forward to the rest of these two years as a trainee. I doubt I will get bored! 

What do you like to do in your spare time? 
I love being active and social! I do a lot of running, and I am very fond of pretty much any sport that involves a ball. Otherwise, I am a hiking enthusiast, and enjoy being on a mountain top with or without skis on my feet. Above all, I greatly appreciate fun dinners with good friends!
