I was born in Unna in 1997, started studying Protestant theology in Münster in 2015, completed the 46th year of theological studies in Jerusalem in 2019/20, and then studied in Göttingen until the ecclesiastical examination in March 2023, where I then started my doctorate. I am currently studying the history of theology at the Pontifical Athenaeum of Sant'Anselmo. I am particularly interested in icons and their ecumenical significance.

An alumni group from the University of Passau led by Executive Director Doreen Müller-Murr visited the RIGG. The director led the group through the cemetery to a gravestone of Matthäus Hochmylner (d. 1720), a baker from Traunkirchen who became wealthy in Rome and donated 6000 guilders for the permanent maintenance of three students in his home in Passau, apparently for students of the Lyceum there. If that's not a model for ex-alumni who have become wealthy!
