Románia | I was born in Kolozsvár (Cluj Napoca) in 1968.
I graduated from the Báthory István High School in 1986, and completed my university studies at the Babeș-Bolyai University, Faculty of Informatics.
My mother tongue is Hungarian, and I speak English and Romanian at a high level, Finnish and French at a basic level.
Since the beginning of June 2001 I have been working as an office manager at the Sapientia Foundation. My main responsibilities include managing the office of the Foundation, which administers the budgetary support of a Hungarian language private university network, organising the meetings of the Board of Trustees and supervising the practical implementation of the decisions of the Board. Previously, between 1999 and 2001, I worked as a democracy expert at the American Embassy in Cluj-Napoca.
From 1994 to 1999, I was responsible for the Soros Foundation's civil society and interethnic programmes and served as the director of its specialised library.
In addition to my full-time job, I also work as an English-Hungarian-Romanian translator and (simultaneous) interpreter, but I have also been a teacher of IT at the Unitarian College and an English language teacher at the Heltai Gáspár Foundation Language School.
Since 2006 I have been a member of the Unitarian Church Consistory, since 2004 of the General Assembly and since 2008 of the Synod. I have been involved in several church committees. For more than 20 years, from 1990 to the early 2010s, I was actively involved in partner church programs with the Unitarian Universalist Association of America.
I got married in 1996, my wife Judit Kiss is a journalist (Krónika daily), editor-in-chief (Hungarian Public Education). Our children, Anna Ágnes and Janka Ilona, were students at the János Zsigmond Unitarian College, and are now university students.
On December 5, 2014, in Odorheiu Secuiesc, the General Council of the Hungarian Unitarian Church elected me as Lay President. Since then, I have chaired the meetings of the General Assembly, the Consistory and the Synod as Senior Lay President, and I consider this the greatest honour of my life. | I'm a member of a Member Organisation and not a Chapter | Hungarian Unitarian Church | Lay President, Hungarian Unitarian Church |

Nederland | As representative of the council of the IRF I was a member of the IARF-council in the early eighties. Visited congresses in Montreal, Oxford, took part in the organisation of the congress in Noordwijkerhout and traveled to Japan two times: once with an IARF-group and once with a youth delegation.
Having a busy family and job we disappeared from the IARF-scene, but now we are back and will try to catch up while the focus of the IARF is in our genes and too important to let go.
Educated as health care psychologist I took studies to become chaplain in palliative care. In our country one can be 'chaplain' without being connected to a church. A very interesting positon for a liberal religious person who does not want to be connected to a church with all kind of dogma's. And wants to be able to seen as a person who offers help to anybody, being believer or not.
Being remonstrant and member of Vrijzinnigen Nederland I wander around in more or less feeling christian or more general religious.
Nowadays the representation of Vrijzinnigen Nederland in the Dutch Chapter is an interesting task to fulfill.
My husband Michiel and I are eager to meet all our old friends and to make new connections! | Dutch Chapter | Vrijzinnigen.nl | representative of Vrijzinnigen Nederland in Dutch Chapter |
