Through six semesters, the Bergen, Norway, native has made the Dean’s list (minimum 3.5 GPA) in all six, Provost’s Honor Roll (minimum 3.75 GPA) recognition five times, as well as earned President’s Honor Roll (4.0) accolades once.
 
On the green, the junior competed in all 31 rounds for the Hurricanes, closing out the year with a scoring average of 73.00 and four top-10 finishes.
