While she knew it was a calling from God, it was not the right timing. When she heard that the program was starting back up, she knew it was divine intervention to be involved. When asked about the future, Zoë wants to be involved in music and with children. She plans to continue her involvement in Brookville Community Theater as Music Director. She is also planning on receiving her Doctorate in School Psychology to continue her work through her psychology degree.
