Zuzana Urbanova

My name is Zuzana Urbanova and as a global-minded leader with a deep passion for education, people, and organizational growth, I bring a unique blend of psychology, business, law, and human resources to my work at the National STEM Honor Society (NSTEM). My journey began in the Czech Republic, where I earned a degree from the Prague School of Advanced Legal Studies with a specialization in Employment and Labor Law. Later, I pursued a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, an MBA with a concentration in Human Resources.

At NSTEM, I serve as Director of External Strategies while remaining deeply engaged in Human Resources. My role allows me to connect innovation with people—leading initiatives that drive national growth, AI-powered prospecting, and cross-department collaboration, while also mentoring and supporting interns as they take on leadership roles of their own.
My dedication to HR and organizational development has been recognized nationally and internationally. I was honored as a Top HR Director by the International Association of Top Professionals and included in Who’s Who in America. These recognitions reflect my commitment to building ethical, inclusive, and forward-thinking structures that empower both individuals and organizations to thrive.
I believe in the power of education to transform lives and in the importance of fostering environments where people are supported to grow, collaborate, and lead. At NSTEM, I strive to align strategy with purpose, advancing our mission to inspire the next generation of STEM leaders while shaping a culture rooted in mentorship, innovation, and excellence.
