Kim Hucko’s Journey From Event Specialist to Sampling Director

August 12, 2024

35,000. This is not an exaggeration.  

The number of events a year managed by Kim Hucko and her team is seriously hard to wrap our brains around, and yet they make it look so easy. 😌

Starting as an Event Specialist back in 2008, Kim climbed her way up to become our Sampling Director and has been changing the game ever since.  

One thing about Kim is that she’s not afraid to speak up for others.  

When we interviewed her for this post, her immediate thought was to uplift her TEAM, making sure everyone gets credit!

In her words, “No matter the role. Part-time or full-time, ALL contribute to our success. Being able to see people grow within my department is what motivates me the most! "

That is just one of the many, many things that make her awesome.  

When asking her for career advice she simply laid it out for us, "Work hard, raise your hand, and stand out. No one will do it for you.” 🫰

But there's more to Kim than just her job.  

With a love for photography and journaling, she captures the beauty of the little moments that inspire her. 📸

Balancing a career with being a mom of three, Kim is the life of the party, making every event a core memory for us at TEAM 🪩

Kim, thank you for sharing your story with us. You’re an inspiration to us all! 💓
