MEET THE TEAM: Zoë
Some internships are so rewarding that you simply have to come back. Zoë knows all about it! After completing an internship at Act-Wise, she is now joining our team as a permanent colleague. The newest face on the team? Perhaps. But she’s certainly not starting from scratch: thanks to her internship, she already knows Act-Wise and the world of event management very well.With a bachelor’s degree in Business Management and a master’s degree in Communication Sciences under her belt, she’s all set to start her first permanent role in the events industry. And honestly? We couldn’t be happier that she’s chosen Act-Wise once again to take this next step in her career!But who is Zoë outside of work? It’s time to get to know the newest member of our team.
Italy, pasta andla dolce vita
Zoë doesn’t have to think twice about her favourite holiday destination: Italy, without a doubt! Give her stunning coastlines, sunny days and plenty of pasta. That’s pretty much all she needs to be happy.
She doesn’t have to look far for a Belgian favourite either. Ghent gets a solid 10/10 from her. Perhaps her years living and studying there have something to do with it. Even so, the city never ceases to amaze her, especially when the evening sun bathes Ghent’s historic façades in a warm glow.
You’re unlikely to find her somewhere with nothing going on. Give her a beautiful destination, great food and a vibrant atmosphere, and she’s in her element.
Extra chilli oil? Yes, please!
If Zoë had to choose just one dish, it would be pad Thai with prawns. But there’s one condition: it has to come with a generous helping of crispy chilli oil. Preferably Lao Gan Ma’s. Yes, that specific jar!
At the office, she tries to keep snacking to a minimum. That plan doesn’t always survive when there are sweets left over from events. Because throwing away sweets? That would be such a waste!
So Zoë has the perfect excuse to pop into the kitchen every now and then.
Holidays are allowed to be comfortable.
Camping or an all-inclusive resort?
Although she’d be happy to give glamping a try. As long as she doesn’t have to choose between a good night’s sleep and a shower after a day full of adventure, she’s happy.
A tent without bathroom facilities? We’ll leave that to the real adventurers!
Ralph: the smallest colleague with the biggest impact
At home, Zoë shares her apartment with her boyfriend and, more recently, with Ralph, their poodle. And their new four-legged housemate is sure to bring plenty of love, funny moments and the occasional little challenge.
Because raising a puppy turns out to be quite different from what she expected. That’s why Zoë knows exactly which superpower she’d choose: the ability to communicate with animals.
Imagine if she could simply explain to Ralph what he’s supposed to do. Even better: if he could finally explain why he sometimes seems to have a mind of his own!
Whether Ralph would use that superpower to negotiate for extra treats, we’ll leave that open to debate.
From intern to permanent team member at Act-Wise
From her first internship to her first permanent role, Zoë has found her way back to Act-Wise. And we couldn’t be happier to have her back!
Thanks to her previous internship, she already knows how we work, but there’s still plenty for her to discover. With her background in Business Management and Communication Sciences, she has everything she needs to grow within the events industry, bring fresh ideas to the table and work with the team to create memorable events and incentive experiences.
We’re looking forward to taking on new projects together, creating memorable moments and, above all, learning plenty along the way.
