I grew up in the Faroe Islands, a country of just 50,000 people.

Our healthcare is excellent, but our small size means we don’t have the capacity for highly specialized care.

So when I had a fire accident nearly 20 years ago, I became a medical traveler out of necessity.

Over the years, I flew abroad more than 25 times—surgeries, transplants, steroid treatments—learning firsthand what it means to cross borders for healthcare. At some point, it just became life.

And life moved on. I finished high school, moved to the U.S. for college, and built a concierge travel agency—helping people plan seamless, high-touch trips to unfamiliar places. I saw how much people value expert guidance when navigating the unknown.

After graduating from Wharton, I took the expected path—landing a prestigious consulting job in New York. But no matter how far I got, one thing kept pulling me back.

Since moving to the U.S. nearly a decade ago, I’ve watched people struggle—not just with the cost of healthcare, but with access itself.

Unpredictable insurance. Sky-high out-of-pocket costs. Critical treatments just out of reach.

I knew there was a better way—because I had lived it. And I had built something like it before.

So I left my job and started Globalized Health—combining my experience as a medical traveler with my expertise in concierge travel—to make exceptional, affordable care abroad a reality for Americans—starting with fertility care.
