Amalie Zinsser

Driven by purpose and human experience, Amalie Zinsser firmly believes that it takes a village. Her role at UnCommons is to foster an environment that instills a sense of belonging and encourages meaningful community connections—something about which Zinsser is personally passionate.

“The desire to belong and connect with others is a basic human instinct, and I look forward to helping develop the UnCommons community into one that is ripe with genuine connections and where everyone feels welcome, valued and involved,” Zinsser said. To this end, she facilitates community partnerships with nonprofits across the Valley and has launched multiple community-oriented events for business owners, local artists and more. Personally, she gives back to several organizations including the Las Vegas Rescue Mission and Communities in Schools.

Born and raised in Las Vegas, Zinsser spends her free time with family and friends, training for marathons and going on ice cream dates with her 5-year-old daughter. She stresses the importance of taking care of oneself, as she believes that is the foundation of being able to care for others. And care is what Zinsser does—across her career, community and beyond.
