Before the pageant she was the most vocal contestant in leading calls to boycott over the Amina Lawal case.
However, the pageant went ahead in Nigeria at Amina's insistence and was eventually moved to London, UK, with Sørland's participation.
Then, two years later, she went on to represent her country in the Miss Universe 2004 pageant held in Quito, Ecuador, where she reached the top fifteen and finished in the 11th place.
Some of them are the Norwegian version of the reality series Top Model, the game show Casino, the sing contest for celebrities Sangstjerner (Sing stars) and a Home makeover programme named Norges styggeste rom (Norway's ugliest room).
In addition to be a model and TV presenter, she is also the owner of a wedding dress shop, in Oslo which she opened on 31 March 2006.
