Profile

Zoë is a dynamic and insightful presenter and journalist with a passion for sport, the arts and societal issues.

With more than two decades of experience in broadcasting, journalism, podcasting and international sports, Zoë offers a distinctive perspective that will engage, entertain and inform.

Not only is she an expert in challenges and opportunities facing sport, she’s also one of Aotearoa’s leading toilet equity experts. Her TEDx talk, "The Movement: How to Smash the Cistern and Unclog the Bogs," highlights her campaign for better toilet facilities for women, LGBTQI+ communities, and the disabled in our sports venues. This project is a testament to her commitment to social issues, and she presents on the topic with a blend of seriousness and humour.

Zoë is known for her resourcefulness, thorough research, and adaptability. She has served as Master of Ceremonies at Government House for Paralympics New Zealand, led a three-day conference for the Public Service Association’s youth movement, hosted the Restaurant Association awards, MCed various conferences and chaired several panel discussions.

She is a regular on RNZ’s The Panel with Wallace Chapman, and she has appeared both in print for the Sunday Star Times, the Post and Stuff, and on television as a go-to expert for social issues in sport.

Zoë has traveled extensively with international cricket, bringing back rich stories from her journeys. She was also one of 100 prominent New Zealanders to serve as an ambassador for the Women’s Cricket World Cup and in 2023 featured in the Sunday Magazine’s FIFA Women’s Football World Cup special.

While she resides in Wellington, she enjoys traveling both around Aotearoa and abroad for work and enjoyment. In her spare time she sits on the iconic BATS Theatre board and enjoys finding the perfect spot on the embankment at the Basin Reserve to support her favourite cricket teams.

Zoë is an excellent addition to your next event, whether you need a Master of Ceremonies, a keynote speaker, or a panel moderator, she brings the right energy, insight and engagement to make your event a success.

Expertise
Feedback
“Zoe recently was the MC for the our Wahine Toa event. This event was about recognising the amazing women we have at LINZ, and Zoe did an awesome job in bringing out the greatest of our women - even when the women were reserved in telling their stories. Zoe made them feel comfortable and asked questions that brought out the real essence of their greatness. Zoe brought humour and energy to her MC role, and overwhelmingly supported the recognition of our amazing women. Thanks Zoe, you did an awesome job.” Land Information New Zealand

Zoe was a pleasure to work with, a great personality and made us feel like she was part of the event instead of a hired addition.
