Alyssa and Kjetil met at Northwestern University, where Jesus changed both of their lives through the Cru movement on campus and their local church in Evanston. Kjetil graduated in 2020 with a degree in Earth & Planetary Sciences, and Alyssa finished her degree in Learning Sciences in 2021. Kjetil and Alyssa were married in May of 2022 and have since enjoyed doing ministry together with Chicago Campus Initiative. In their free time, they enjoy reading, cycling, backpacking, musicals, and talking about their curly hair.
