My idol and what I’d ask them: My parents are great role models for me. Katrin Jonsdottir and Caroline Seger have also had a big influence on me - it was a privilege to play alongside them and learn from them.
My dream job if I hadn’t become a professional footballer: As a kid, I wanted to be either an architect or a handball player.
Sports I like besides football: I played handball when I was younger, so I like watching the big tournaments every year. I like the high tempo and the mental game behind it.
My favourite travel destination: Iceland. But one of my most memorable trips was a safari and a visit to a girls' soccer school in South Africa.
My favourite food: I love skyr and the Scandinavian version of tacos.
My favourite book and why I’d recommend it: The Captain Class is a great book on different leadership styles.
Strangest moment in football: At an international in Slovenia, all the lights suddenly went out and it was pitch black for a while.
First memory of FC Bayern: When we played FC Bayern in the quarter-finals of the Champions League with Rosengård.
How I calm down when I'm annoyed after a game: I talk to my partner about the game, maybe watch a few clips, but then I try to think about something else or talk to friends at home who aren't as into football.
My pre-match ritual: The girls always laugh because I put my shin pads on before I start my individual preparation in the changing room.
