Her hobbies include performing in musicals and plays, singing, playing with her pets, and spending time with her family.
Zoë first became interested in being involved in Women at the Well when they visited her church to discuss the program. She watched the performances and felt an instant connection with the mission. 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.
