Zoë grew up in Baltimore, Maryland and attended the Bryn Mawr School until eighth grade, which is where she learned to play lacrosse. After attending Deerfield Academy in Massachusetts for high school, she went to college at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill where she played lacrosse. She was elected captain as a senior, and played in two NCAA final fours (1997 and 1998). She was on the ACC Honor Roll the entire time she played there, and after graduating was also honored with the Class of 1996 Award for team commitment and leadership.
Zoë moved to Denver in 2001, where she immediately met her husband, Arty. They have two children, Finn (5) and Parker (3). She taught middle school English at Kent Denver School from 2001 to 2006 and was the lacrosse coach there for ten years. Currently Zoë is an English tutor in her spare time when she is not coaching for Summit or raising her children.
Denver Summit Lacrosse was founded by the University of Denver Women’s Lacrosse coaching staff: Head Coach Liza Kelly and Assistant Coach Rachel Shuck. Combined, these women have experience with top Division I programs, NCAA tournaments, NCAA Championships, and US National Teams.
Additional Denver Summit coaches will include current and former Division I and III players from several elite institutions across the country, as well as current University of Denver players. From this depth of experience, our staff can provide prospective college players with insight into the many facets of the college process, from recruiting through the daily life of a student-athlete.
