Wuest joined the NAVC as Editorial Director in October 2018, and was named to her current role in March 2020. Prior to joining the NAVC, she served in various editorial capacities at Bonnier Corporation, including brand director and editor-in-chief of Scuba Diving, Sport Diver, World’s Best Diving & Resorts, and ScubaLab Gear Guide magazines. Before Scuba Diving was purchased by Bonnier in 2008, Wuest held several editorial roles with the magazine over a 17-year period, including managing editor, for the previous owners. She began her career in magazine journalism as an assistant editor on two insurance industry trade publications.
Wuest earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in English and a minor in Journalism from the College of New Jersey (then known as Trenton State College). She currently resides in Maitland, Florida, with her husband, Tom, and Lily, their spoiled and beautiful cat, a lynx point Siamese and Snowshoe mix.
