Life Outside Work
In Tilburg
With the largest zoo in the Benelux region just 10 minutes away, I have been counting more than 1250 animals my neighbors ever since moving to Tilburg in 2023! I enjoy taking my camera "on safari" on the weekends.
Out and About
One of my favorite perks of living in Tilburg is being close to the world-famous amusement park de Efteling! When I am not taking photos at the zoo, you can probably find me in the Sprookjesbos (Fairytale Forest) capturing some of the park's magic.
At Home
In 2017, I co-founded the Zonta e-Club of Germany. Since 1919, Zonta clubs in 63 countries have been improving the lives of women and girls. Aside from organizing donation campaigns, I also help raise funds by putting my needlework skills to good use.
