Zoe has worked as an Associate Instructor in the Department of Sociology, Project Manager at the School of Public and Environmental Affairs, Statistical Intern at the U.S. Census Bureau, and Economic Research Assistant at the Indiana Business Research Center. Zoe has also earned master’s degrees in sociology and applied statistics from IU and holds a bachelor’s degree in statistics and sociology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
