About Karina
Karina is a Norwegian keynote speaker, author, computer programmer and former professional athlete. She competed for Red Bull for over a decade as a big mountain skier and BASE jumper, achieving the distinction of being the first woman to perform a ski-BASE jump. In 2006, she suffered a near-fatal skydiving accident that resulted in 25 leg fractures and left her in a wheelchair. After 20 surgeries and extensive rehabilitation, she returned to skiing. She has worked as a performance consultant since 2012, with training in Neuro Linguistic Programming and Active Commitment Therapy.
