Social projects

Within Solid I'm the link between the social projects abroad and the Belgian office. My role is to guide, inspire and monitor them as well as broaden their international networks. I’m also the one that puts all the volunteers within our organisation on the right track. All the stories I encounter about our social impact, I integrate in our Communications.                     

I like: travelling, smiling people, happy plants and working with the social teams towards new possibilities. 

My favorite quote: "Why stay in your comfort zone when there's a lot more to do out there."

I translate the wonderful stories of our artisans and non profit projects in understandable and usable content for our clients.

My favorite quote: 'The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn.
