Destination Strategist & Cultural Commentator
American-born and Bergen-based, I've spent over a decade working across Norway's biggest industries, fishing, tourism, and shipping. Today, I serve as Cruise Destination Manager for the Port of Bergen, one of the world's most sustainable cruise destinations, focusing on increasing local value creation and strengthening Bergen as a leading international destination. Alongside that, I've built a social media presence of over 100,000 followers sharing Nordic life and destination storytelling. I'm a sought-after speaker in both Norwegian and English, having moderated conferences, delivered keynotes, and led workshops across industries, with a particular focus on leadership.
I’m currently available for speaking and social media engagements. Contact.
