Meet Heidi, a 10-year zoo professional blending a passion for wildlife and business acumen in the role of Director of Business Operations and Staff Photographer at the Lake Superior Zoo.

Beyond the confines of the business world, Heidi is an avid hiker, embarking on daily adventures with her two Saint Bernards and one little beagle, creating a harmonious blend of companionship and outdoor exploration.

With a commitment to conservation and a love for the great outdoors, Heidi integrates her professional and personal passions of business, wildlife, and art.
