Reyna Asheim (Bergstrom) is from Fargo, North Dakota and is a proud fifth-generation North Dakotan.
She graduated as valedictorian from Oak Grove Lutheran High School in 2014 and Magna Cum Laude from Concordia College in May 2018 with degrees in communication and religion. While at Concordia, Reyna was a vocal musical scholar and sang in the world-renowned Concordia Choir under the direction of Dr. René Clausen and Tactus, a student-led vocal chamber ensemble. Along with her musical pursuits, Reyna worked in the Career Center at Concordia and served on the Campus Entertainment and Homecoming Committees. Her final semester of college, she lived in Washington D.C. and participated in the Lutheran College Washington Semester. At the end of the semester, Reyna was voted by her peers as the Joyce Joyner Spirit Award Winner.
After interning for Senator John Hoeven in Washington D.C. her final semester, she briefly returned to Minnesota for graduation before moving to Flathead Lake in Montana to work a fourth summer at Flathead Lutheran Bible Camp. As the Art Coordinator, she spent her days teaching pottery, running around with kids, and spending nearly every weekend hiking in Glacier National Park. Following a whirlwind of a summer, Reyna returned to her hometown of Fargo, North Dakota without any plans. After some traveling and working a few part time jobs, she accepted her first “big girl” job at her alma mater on Concordia’s Communication and Marketing Team as a Content Specialist in November of 2018. In this role, Reyna spent her days managing Concordia’s social medias which entailed engaging with students, faculty, and alumni and sharing their stories.
In June 2019, Reyna competed for Miss North Dakota and placed first runner-up, and decided to compete one more time in 2021 after the competition was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. On June 12, 2021 she was crowned Miss North Dakota 2021 and spent the following year traveling around the state full time speaking to schools, businesses, and organizations about her social impact initiative and educating about the Miss America and Miss North Dakota Organizations. In December, she competed at the 100th Miss America Competition in Connecticut.
Reyna currently lives in Fargo and is an active freelance artist, photographer, musician, writer, and digital marketing professional. In her free time she enjoys creating art, planning trips, spending time with friends and family, and eating arguably too many avocados. She works as a Senior Marketing Specialist at Sanford Health and recently married the love of her life in the mountains of Montana.
