Administrative Assistant

B.A. in Near Eastern Religions, Whitman College

Before starting as an administrative assistant at CNDLS in the summer of 2011, Zoë worked in a microbiology lab and a law office while working toward an M.A. in Liberal Studies from Georgetown with a concentration in International Affairs. She expects to complete this degree in the Fall of 2012.

Prior to coming to Georgetown as a student, Zoë received a B.A. from Whitman College in Near Eastern religions focusing on early Jewish communities living under Islamic rule. Additionally she wrote her thesis on the historical significance of the Jewish community in Kaifeng, China. Zoë obtained a second B.A. from the University of Minnesota in History with a focus on French language and colonial history.

During her free time, Zoe enjoys rock climbing and yoga. She has been learning Persian for the past few months with the hope of incorporating this into her future educational pursuits.
