Berit started her professional career at Twin Cities Spine Center (TCSC), Abbott Northwestern Hospital, in Minneapolis in June of 2008 and was presently a clinical research coordinator working very closely with the TSSC Fellowship program. Berit was co-author on several published studies.
Berit loved to travel and planned many trips with her family and friends. Her travels included South America, Greece, Italy, Iceland, Mexico, Canada and Thailand and from California to Florida and the Keys. Norway was her next destination.
Berit loved the outdoor sports also, including trips to Whistler, Lake Tahoe, Breckenridge and Vail. She shared these trips with her brother Johny. She enjoyed spending long weekends with her loved family at the cabin in Nevis, Minnesota.
