KAREN SZCZERBIUK
ASSOCIATE (CO-ORDINATION)

Karen graduated from the University of Hull
in 1981 where she gained an Honours Degree
in French & Linguistics. She is Colin's longest
serving employee, having joined IST Ltd
(Interski's parent company) in 1982. As
such, she has been with Interski since its
inception in 1983 and has delighted in
watching, and being an important part of, its
growth and evolution. So not only will Winter
2007/2008 be Interski's 25th birthday, but
it will also mark Karen's 25th season.

The fact that the Aosta Valley is a bilingual area means that Karen continues to make
regular use of her French language skills, but her Italian is coming along nicely and a
German nightclass has provided some new skills which could prove useful if we ever
expand into Switzerland or Austria!

Karen is married to Jan who was a former school friend (it's quite a romantic story if
you've ever got an hour or two to spare) and has two teenage boys who have skied since
the age of four and who are well and truly bitten by the bug, keen to qualify as instructors
themselves. One is now racing for the University of Liverpool Ski Club.

Karen's rôle encompasses a wide range of duties, such as the provision of support for the
Managing Director, liaising with Italy, supervising UK and Italian accounts, management
of the sales and administrative teams and brochure writing. The latest string to her bow
is the building of our website. Karen's passion and enthusiasm for Interski is tireless and
you'll find she's usually the first staff member to arrive in the morning and the last one
out at night!
