Markus Kruse is a member of the Boothroyd First Nation in central British Columbia. Having graduated from the British Columbia Institute of Technology with a Marketing Diploma in Tourism Management, Markus has applied his recent studies to his role as the Sales & Marketing Coordinator at ITAC.
He was working in hospitality before the pandemic. With a solid background and understanding of the hospitality industry, he felt that exploring a career in tourism would make use of skills acquired over the years. Markus is excited about the opportunity to work with Indigenous communities from across the country and to learn and share their culture, traditions, and stories.
Before working with ITAC, he was working towards becoming a wine sommelier and is Wine & Spirit Education Trust Level 2 certified. Markus hopes to pursue his level three certificate in the near future.
