Pála Hallgrímsdóttir

Chair of the Snorri Foundation 

Pála Hallgrímsdóttir has a diverse background that includes studying in three countries and holding a variety of interesting and demanding jobs. Pála studied political science and has an MA in International Relations. She completed her education at the University of Iceland as well as abroad, receiving a diploma in US Foreign Policy at American University in Washington, D.C. and also studying at Stockholm University.
​

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 a flight attendant for domestic and international airlines, including Flugfélag Íslands, Icelandair, and Emirates.

Pála was Project Manager of the Snorri Programs  from February 2020 until November 2022, at which time she replaced retiring Snorri Foundation Board Chair Hulda Karen Danielsdóttir, as Chair. Pála is proud to help the Snorri Foundation continue the good work they have done for over twenty years to honor the story of the Icelandic emigrants to North America and strengthen connections between their descendants in Canada and the US and contemporary Icelanders. Pála lives in Reykjavík with her young son, Hallgrímur Ari and works in Communications at the Icelandic Meteorological Service (Veðurstofa Íslands).
