Relevant volunteer or advocacy work
I have two decades of experience working as an educator, producer, program director and foster care provider. My work has always been centered on attunement; taking that extra time to listen, and hone in on how to create celebration and care around the stories that shape us. I began my career as a history teacher, and moved to Portland in 2008 to direct and develop middle school programs. I later started a small business focused on curriculum development and producing public art and films that share the stories of women, LGBTQ, and Black and brown communities. I sit on the board of Black United Fund and Pathfinders Network of Oregon. I produced and managed the installation of the Black Heritage Art Markers on Alberta Street, the first LGBTQ mural in Portland, Never Look Away, and the Fiercest Athletes mural across from Powell's Bookstore. My life’s purpose has always been attuning to the stories around us, to create a more full vision of our collective possibilities. My own pregnancies and birth experiences have led me to shift my skills and passions towards supporting the birthing experience for families. I have focused my work on celebrating, acknowledging and making room for the stories that shape us—and I believe that birth is one of the singularly most important stories we have.

I could tell from the moment I met Zoe that she genuinely cared about my well-being. As someone having a child for the first time, I felt more at ease and confident knowing she was in my corner. Zoe is an invaluable resource of information and finds answers when needed through others in the field. Not to mention she also advocates for needs of birthing people in the community!
From pregnancy to postpartum, Zoe has been an excellent communicator and available to support me when I’ve called on her. She has also provided much guidance and support to my partner, making us both feel cared for. She also took great pictures during labor that I will forever treasure!
Her presence is grounding and affirming, she is able to hold space for aaaallllll of the emotions, she has a great sense of humor, and expertly tunes into the needs of others. My pregnancy, labor, and postpartum experience has been enriched thanks to her careful attention, listening, validation, and unwavering support. Without a doubt I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a doula.

Zoe is a wonderful doula. I have never felt so connected to someone that I had only known for a short period of time. She was with my family and I during the most difficult time. She still managed to make the birthing experience special. She helped my husband, sister and I with multiple birth positions. I am truly grateful for her. Her energy she transmitted to me help me find peace. She helped me be intuned with my body and she really cares and is extremely passionate in the work she does. She will always be a special person in my life.

I could not be happier with the support that I received from Zoe she made my birthing experience so special and comfortable by letting me know what to expect, making a great connection with me and my partner and by helping my partner know different ways to comfort me during contractions and birth. she really vouged for me and my needs/wishes for my birth in the hospital and I couldn't imagine going through it without her, she helped me through every step and was very compassionate she left a great impression on me and my partner and I wish that I could continue to work with her after birth she will be in our hearts forever.
