A native of Amherst, Massachusetts, Zoe has lived in Galway on and off since 2015 and permanently since 2017.

Zoe has always been athletic, playing various sports from a young age, including playing on the Massachusetts state soccer team, multiple Ultimate Frisbee clubs, her town's swim club, and many others. She was a Grade 7 certified soccer referee and also began coaching Ultimate in her teens. Zoe was recruited to multiple colleges for soccer, but chose to focus more on her studies and received her B.A. from Smith College in Northampton, Massachusetts with a focus on Ethnomusicology.

Since moving fully back to Galway, Zoe has completed her M.A. in Irish Studies at NUI, Galway where she coached and continued to play Ultimate with the NUIG team and the club team in Galway - Tribe Ultimate Frisbee. In 2019, Zoe represented Ireland (and was an assistant coach) on the Women's Senior Ultimate Frisbee team who won gold medals at the European Championships last year which was the greatest feat of an Ultimate team in Ireland to date. Zoe is the Youth Officer on Tribe Ultimate this year. Outside of Ultimate, Zoe plays Gaelic football on the Gaeil na Gaillimhe team and works at the Kylemore Abbey Global Centre for the University of Notre Dame. She has tried to continue her efforts in promoting Ultimate through youth player efforts, including her current youth diversity project she is putting together for the Fall (depending on COVID).

She is especially an advocate for gender equity in sport and diversity & inclusion.
