I’ve had the opportunity to work with Christina on a variety of projects, both when she was with the Norwegian Consulate, and now at Norway House. She is extremely knowledgeable about international business, government, and non-profit organizations. Christina is approachable, patient, and exceptional at working with people. She’s a delightful person, and a pleasure to collaborate with.

      Norway House is a forward-thinking international business and culture organization in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Born out of the need for a centralized location in the Midwest Norwegian-American community, Norway House has grown to serve as more than just a convening mechanism for local organizations and heritage; it’s also a destination for contemporary Norwegian art and ideas and a hub for cultivating Norwegian and pan-Nordic government and business relationships. The big, blue Albert Quie Education Center opened its doors at 913 Franklin Ave, Minneapolis in May of 2015. The location boasts a rich and diverse residential history. The area was home to many Nordic immigrants during the Great Migration to the US and has continued to be a cultural home for immigrants from many backgrounds, as well as the heart of the urban Native American communities in Minneapolis.
