I am 22 years old and originally from Iceland. When I was 11, I moved to Denmark, where I lived for five years before relocating to Chapel Hill, North Carolina, at 16. I have been living in Chapel Hill for the past five years. Experiencing life in multiple countries has provided me with valuable life experiences, including adapting to new cultures and learning new languages. These challenges have pushed me out of my comfort zone and shaped who I am today —an outgoing, positive, and highly motivated person—qualities that I believe will greatly benefit me in my journey as a hairstylist.
