Zoe is a Community Development Specialist for SICOG. A native of Monroe, Louisiana, Zoe loves the smell of rain and misses the frequent thunderstorms. Pocatello has been her home since 1993 and she loves having a true four season climate.
She has extensive funding administration experience, primarily working with small communities and very small water/wastewater systems. Zoe worked as a funding administrator for several years for Keller Associates (engineering) and, most recently, for the City of Pocatello. She enjoys helping small communities find the funding to become the best version of themselves. In her free time, she volunteers at Valley Mission Food Pantry and she loves to read. She is an avid fan of the Idaho State University Women’s Basketball team. She watches every home game she can and listens as her husband Mark broadcasts the games on KISU Radio. |
