In July, 2024, at only ten years old, Zoe made a name for herself on the soccer team of her school by scoring a hat-trick. As a ten-year-old, she began playing for Sting 14G Pre-ECNL Flynn soccer club in 2024, based in Richardson, Texas. Although she has already scored several hat-tricks in her career as a forward, she primarily plays as a central midfielder.

In her old Instagram clip, Zoe once posted a clip of herself playing flag football as a quarterback, following her brother’s footsteps.
