Why did you apply to Borregaard? 
I knew Borregaard was involved in a lot of exciting research on bio-based products and I was told that Borregaard has a great working environment. 

How has the trainee period been so far? 
I have a great time sharing an office with three other trainees. I've also gained insight into Borregaard and the people that works here. I've had time to experience the working environment, and I can confirm that it's very good. 

What are you looking forward to the most? 
I'm really looking forward to getting experience from one of Borregaard’s locations outside Norway. I think it's going to be a very educational and unique experience, and lucky for me I love to travel. You develop a completely different relationship with people when you meet them face to face, and I hope to make many new friends and colleagues. 

What do you like to do in your spare time? 
In my spare time, I enjoy playing padel, frisbee golf, going to the gym, and other outdoor activities. It suits me very well that Borregaard has its own gym and arranges different types of activities throughout the year. Besides that, I also love board games, PC games, and movies/tv-shows.
