I enjoy reading books and watching a good movie or TV series.

Most recently, I was studying for a Master's degree in Theology and Religious Studies: Spiritual Care at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. During this program, we learned much about the role of spirituality and meaning-making in people's lives. In the years before that I studied Religious Studies in Leiden. Before my time at the Schiphol Airport Chaplaincy,  I worked at the Watersnoodmuseum in Zeeland, maintaining their website about the 1953 North Sea Flood. I'm looking forward to my time at the Schiphol Airport Chaplaincy, as well as hearing the stories of the thousands of travelers and staff who are making their way through Schiphol every day.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello!
