Life[edit]
Arnstad was born in Trollhättan. Her parents were Eli Arnstad and Iwar Arnstad.[1] She was brought up at Skatval in Nord-Trøndelag. Arnstad attended Ole Vig high school before studying Renewable Energy at the University of the Environment and Life Sciences in Ås. Arnstad then studied International Politics at the University of Oslo. Her role model is her grandmother, who served in the Riksdat.[2] Both of her grandmothers, her parents and her aunt are involved in politics and this was part of her training.[3]
