Pála Hallgrímsdóttir

Board member since 2024
Jointly representing INL-Iceland and the Nordic Association

Pála Hallgrímsdóttir studied political science and has a master’s in international relations. She studied at the University of Iceland as well as abroad; as an undergrad, she did an exchange at American University in Washington, D.C., studying US foreign policy, and as a master’s student, she attended Stockholm University in Sweden, studying international relations and political science. 

Pála has extensive experience in project management and international cooperation. For over ten years, she worked as a project manager and assistant producer for the Icelandic National Broadcasting Service (RÚV). She was also a journalist for MAN magazine and Flugið, a magazine about Icelandic aviation, and worked as a flight attendant for domestic and international airlines, including Flugfélag Íslands, Icelandair, and Emirates. 

Pála joined the Snorri team as Project Manager in early 2020. In autumn 2022, she left the Project Manager position to take a job as a communications officer at the Icelandic Met Office. At the same time, she joined the board of the Snorri Foundation and was voted chair, a role she held for nine months. After a short break, she returned to the board in 2024 as the joint representative of the Icelandic National League of Iceland and the Nordic Association. Pála has also served as chair of INL-Iceland since September 2023.
​
 
Pála has a deep interest in the story of the Icelandic emigrants to North America and looks forward to continuing to help strengthen connections between their descendants in Canada and the US and contemporary Icelanders. Pála lives in Reykjavík with her son, Hallgrímur Ari.
