Where are you from and what brought you to NWA?
I was born, raised and graduated high school in Sweden. Came to the US as a collegiate athlete at Arizona State. After graduating with a master’s degree, I was hired by the University of Arkansas as the women’s head golf coach. I had never been here prior to that and fell in love with this area immediately!
