My name is Willemein Koelink, I come from Eindhoven, but after years of living as a tour guide in various countries, I settled in Ireland in 2008. I enjoy living in Dublin with my Irish husband and our two children, who both go to De Madelief. During the week they attend a Gaelscoil4all school in Glasnevin and in addition to being fluent in Dutch and English, they are also fluent in the Irish language.
I have a background in digital communications, tourism management, culture and sustainability. In my current position as office manager of a small practice, I mainly focus on all daily organizational aspects and planning.
De Madelief is a beautiful school with a strong team, and I am very happy to be able to actively contribute to this.
My name is Richard Maasland, in September 2018 I joined the board of the Madelief as treasurer.
I moved to Dublin in January 2017 and I live here with my wife and 3 daughters with great pleasure. Two of our daughters go to the Madelief every Saturday. 1 in secondary education and 1 in primary education. The youngest is not old enough yet but she is there every Saturday to pick up her older sisters.
In daily life I work as Chief Accounting Officer at an aircraft leasing company.
