Born and raised in Alberta, Zoe was dead-set on practicing criminal defence law since before sixth grade. Knowing she wanted to go to law school, Zoe first obtained her Bachelor of Arts in Political Science, Sociology, and Gender, Sexuality, Feminist, and Social Justice studies from McGill in 2020. While in law school Zoe took as many classes about criminal law as possible, and even received the Juris Radze Memorial Prize for achieving a superior academic achievement in an advanced criminal law course.
Zoe obtained her Juris Doctorate from the University of Alberta Faculty of Law in 2023. While in law school Zoe worked with the Student Legal Services (“SLS”) Criminal Project, first as a volunteer, then as a shift leader, and then as the coordinator in her final year of law school. As coordinator Zoe managed and led a team of 11 law students who assisted low-income individuals with criminal charges and provincial offences.
Zoe understands how confusing and stressful navigating the criminal justice system can be, and she is committed to protecting your presumption of innocence, holding the state accountable, and advocating for the best interest of her clients. If you have been charged with Criminal Code, drug, regulatory, traffic, or IRS offences, Zoe would be pleased to help you.
