Zella Stewart is a Senior Customer Care Representative at RISA, holding a Bachelor's in Psychology with a Minor in Marketing, complemented by a Game Development Bootcamp.
Before joining RISA, Zella gained diverse work experience, starting with years in the pet care industry, where she worked at a Mom-and-Pop pet store and as a dog bather. The onset of COVID-19 prompted a career shift, leading her to roles as an office administrator and dental assistant at a dental practice.
In her role at RISA, Zella thrives on the dynamic nature of her department. She values the opportunity to be a resource not only for customers but also for internal teams, enjoying the collaborative and multifaceted aspects of her position. Her coworkers and the varied challenges of her work keep her motivated and engaged. To maintain productivity, Zella relies on coffee and her headphones, which provide the perfect backdrop of music or podcasts to help her focus.
Outside of work, Zella enjoys a range of activities that showcase her creative and social sides. She loves attending concerts, engaging in creative projects like sewing and journaling, and spending quality time with family and friends. A gaming enthusiast, she also enjoys both playing and making games. While her Netflix queue isn't extensive, she eagerly anticipates the release of "Mufasa: The Lion King" and "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice" later this year. Zella's blend of professional dedication and diverse personal interests make her a vibrant and valued member of the RISA team.
