In her three years with the Tigers\, football won 29 games\, with a 3-0 record in bowl games\, and celebrated numerous first round NFL Draft picks\, including 2023 Heisman Trophy winner\, Jayden Daniels. \nPrior to her time at LSU\, Zinn spent 12 seasons at her alma mater West Virginia. While there\, she served as deputy athletics director and chief operating officer of the department from 2016-2022. A native of Petersburg\, West Viriginia\, Zinn was appointed the school’s interim Director of Athletics\, becoming the first woman to lead the department. \nZinn joined WVU in 2010 as associate athletic director for compliance and governance and in 2014\, was elevated to executive senior associate athletics director. In her oversight of the day-to-day operations\, Zinn helped guide the athletic department through its transition into the Big 12 in 2012. \nIn Nov. 2021\, Zinn was selected as West Virginia Executive Magazine’s cover recipient of the 2022 Young Guns Class\, representing a generation of leaders who have accomplished great things through their careers in the business world and in their communities. \nA 2020 inductee into the WVU College of Physical Activity and Sport Sciences Hall of Fame\, Zinn has twice received national recognition from the Sports Business Journal\, being name to their Forty Under 40 honors in 2019\, and selected as one of SBJ’s Game Changers in 2016. \nShe earned a bachelor’s degree and master’s degree in sport management from West Virginia University. \nZinn began her career in collegiate athletics\, serving as a compliance assistant with the Big East (2003-2004) before joining the University of Maryland as an assistant athletics director for compliance (2005-2010). \nZinn and her husband\, Nathaniel\, married in 2017.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row]
