Deckhand, PADI OWSI, MedPIC
Zoe grew up in Park Ridge, Illinois, always dreaming of being near the ocean. Her love for the water grew over the years, from decorating her room with nautical themes to scuba diving with her family and joining two GoBeyond BVI trips in high school.
In the summer of 2022, while pursuing degrees in Neuroscience and Spanish at Tulane University, she spent a semester with Sea|mester aboard Vela. Her experience helped her realize she wanted to combine her two biggest passions – medicine and the ocean.
In 2024, she became a PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor in Utila, Honduras, and earned her Medical Person in Charge (MEDPIC) certification. The following year, she graduated from Tulane.
Zoe is very excited to join the Sea|mester team and can’t wait to share her love for the ocean and adventure with future students!
