To Whom it May Concern:

I am interested in a position with an organization that deals in Norwegian culture. I have learned much about Norway and wish to be an overseas partner if possible with an organization from the U.S.A. I can use the Internet on a regular basis and would love to travel if it inecessaryry for the available position. I have an M.Ed. (master's in education) for Montessori pedagogy and have been a teacher in Norway for two and a half years.

My husband, a citizen of Norway, has inherited a farm in Valdres, Norway, where I live now. My B.A. in Family Studies from Saint Olaf College in Northfield, Minnesota combined with an M.Ed., dedication and energy gives me many practical and social skills.

Thank you for your consideration.

I am currently living in Australia, though I was born in Norway. I am 24 years old, can speak fairly fluent Norwegian, and have significant skills in rosemaling. I am a trained primary school teacher in Australia, and am currently working as an outdoor education instructor in rock climbing, rapelling, rafting and swimming.

Personal skills:
- singing
- playing guitar and piano
- rosemaling
- cooking

I am currently looking for work in Norway, but would be open to working anywhere, as I enjoy travel.
