Zuzana started working with us as an intern while studying Business Administration at WWU. Through her dedication, grit and passion for the outdoors, she helped us put together events such as the 2019 Expo and the Great Outdoor Awards while working on data management behind the scenes. In December 2019, she officially graduated from WWU with a Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration and a minor in Communication studies making her a full time member of the team.
