ABOUT
My timeline
A journey through significant moments.
JAKARTA
2003 - 2005
I was born in Indonesia and spent my early childhood there. While my memories from that time are faint, I feel a deep connection to the country. My parents lived there during my university years, and this bond with Indonesia continues to influence me. Despite my young age at the time, the sense of belonging to the country remains strong.
LONDON
2005 - 2007
Though I was very young during our time in London, I have fond memories of hearing my parents speak about our life there. Though my personal recollections are limited, the city remains significant in my life. I often visit, as I have family in the area, and I wonder how life might have unfolded had we stayed longer.
OSLO
2007 - 2009
I began my education in Oslo, where I had my first real experience with snow and the cold. The winters were enchanting, and I embraced the new lifestyle. It was here that I first encountered the Norwegian language and culture. Although I initially struggled with my accent, I gradually adjusted and grew to appreciate the country as home.
KHARTOUM
2009 - 2011
My time in Sudan was marked by the challenges of a country in turmoil. Despite the difficult circumstances, I found immense value in my experiences. Attending the Khartoum International Community School (KICS) exposed me to diverse cultures, and I had the opportunity to take part in unique activities like a safari and camping along the Nile. Those formative years were an eye-opening journey of personal growth and resilience.
OSLO
2011 - 2017
Returning to Oslo after several years abroad was a bit of a cultural adjustment. Having lost some of my language skills, I felt like an outsider at first, but over time I adapted. Secondary school marked a significant turning point, where I made lasting friendships and began to reconnect with my Norwegian heritage. It was here that I learned the true meaning of belonging and community.
MEXICO CITY
2017 - 2021
The transition to Mexico City was a challenging one, especially as I was old enough to feel the weight of leaving behind friends and familiar surroundings. However, the experience proved invaluable. I immersed myself in a rich, diverse culture, forging meaningful relationships with people from around the world. My time at Greengates International School, where I completed my IGCSEs and the IB, was a period of academic and personal growth, while also achieving high grades in the process.
TRONDHEIM
2021 - Present
Upon moving to Trondheim, I began a degree in Electrical Engineering (MTELSYS). However, I quickly realized that my true interests lay elsewhere, particularly in programming. The decision to switch to Computer Engineering (MTDT) was a turning point in my life. I found a new passion in software development, and I am now fully dedicated to pursuing a career in this field. My journey in technology is just beginning, and I am excited for the opportunities ahead.
