DESCRIBE YOUR CHILDHOOD/GROWING YEARS
I grew up with my parents and 3 siblings here in Reykjavik, Iceland. I have one older sister and had two older brothers but one of them passed away in August, 2013. My parents remain together today. I’ve always loved singing, acting, dancing, modeling and shining. I’ve always had an open heart which has brought me a lot of hurt also. A lot bullying and mental abuse by a trusted loved one but it made me the person I am today and I feel stronger because of it which is good.

Loving moments with my mother, sister and dear friends and overall family.
ANY SPECIAL STORIES OR FACTS ABOUT YOUR FAMILY?
My dad is a two times champion in breakdancing and tennis, my mother was a singer and an actress and my grandma goes out regularly and hunts in the wild. I guess that’s interesting as she is 73 years old.

To show people that dreams can come true by my own example. Being a kind example for others and to help others as best as I can is truly giving to me as well. I also love what Miss Earth stands for. We only have one Mother Earth. It’s extremely important to take care of it as good as we can.
