Marie grew up in a small ski town in the Czech Republic. She moved to Prague for her university studies and obtained a Bachelor’s Degree in International Business at the University of Economics in Prague and a Master’s Degree in Business and Marketing at the University of Finance and Administration.

Marie has many years of experience in Administration and Trade Marketing, she was working continuously on her professional resume during her university studies. She worked as a Casting Assistant for a boutique casting agency, she also assisted the financial department of the Ministry of Health of the Czech Republic during busy periods and then she was hired by a multinational FMCG company, where she started as an Administrative Support and was promoted to Category Activation Expert. She also spent some time in Braunschweig, Germany where she was able to participate in the Internship program at Volkswagen AG.

Marie volunteered for many years at a Children’s sanatorium and was assisting her father, who was managing this institution.

Marie always dreamt about moving to Canada where she already spent summer holidays as a kid, visiting her older brother. Her love for mountains and passion for skiing brought her to Whistler in 2016 where she found her second home.

Marie went through different immigration programs herself and finally became permanent resident of Canada in 2019. She understands how stressful immigration processes can be and that is one of the reasons she acknowledges our clients’ needs and the importance of punctuality and excellent customer service.
