In a world where outdoor activities such as fishing, hunting, and boating are often seen as male-dominated, Isabell Zitzelsberger is leading a charge for change, reshaping the narrative through Wild Chix – a series of seminars aimed at empowering women in the outdoors.
Driven by a desire to create a supportive and non-intimidating environment, Isabell’s first Wild Chix seminar at the Tauranga Sportfishing Club covered essential topics such as boating basics, safety, and maintenance. Through the seminars, Isabell aims to build a community of confident and knowledgeable women, bridging the gender gap in traditionally male-dominated activities.
