In 2010 Zoë began studying at Oxford University, racing for OUBC in the 2011 reserves race and the 2012 Boat Race. Following her graduation, Zoë was selected to cox the GB W8+ at the 2013 World Rowing Championships, and has since raced at multiple World Cups and World Championships. At the 2015 Worlds, Zoë steered the British W8+ to a 4th place finish, qualifying the boat for the 2016 Rio Olympic Games, where her crew went on to win a silver medal - the first ever Olympic medal for a GB W8+.
Out of the coxing seat, Zoë has coached a wide variety of crews, including junior, university and senior clubs. She has provided extensive coxing education through mentoring, coxing conferences, steering and racing talks, and club visits.
