Zoe trained as a competitive gymnast for 11 years. She began her gymnastics career in France where she was born and continued it in California when her family moved there in 1991.

After an injury forced her to quit gymnastics in 1999, Zoe pursued other interests and eventually completed a BA in Studio Art from the University of California in 2005. She then moved to London and rediscovered her love of acrobatics when she enrolled in the Circus in Performance course at Greentop Circus in Sheffield.

Zoe has now completed a BA in Circus Arts from The Circus Space in London where she specialised in handbalancing and continued to train acrobatics. She also has a good base in juggling, static trapeze and tightwire.  She is now in the process of creating "Lost  Property Circus" (a circus/theatre show using entirely found and recycled materials) with other recent graduates.
