My journey
Hospitality, given a new direction
My professional journey began in the hotel sector. For more than twenty years I learned to welcome people, lead teams and carry responsibility. Theological study and church ministry did not replace those experiences; they gave them a new direction. Hospitality, attentiveness and reliable leadership also belong to the life of a healthy church.
