Zoë's Story

Zoë transplanted from Phoenix, Arizona, in mid-2019 by way of Los Angeles, Manhattan and the Washington, D.C. acting markets. Her love of the Southwest is only one reason she and her Husband of almost 30 years decided to make New Mexico their new home. Zoë made her professional acting debut at the age of 16, at Kings Hall in Heidelberg, Germany, in a production of Godspell. Since then she's worked in most of the major markets across the United States. She was raised by an Air Force enlisted man and her Mother was a civil servant. Her family always took advantage of travel, consequently she's lived or traveled through most of the United States
and has lived in Germany and on the island of Okinawa.

Zoë founded Mrs. Hancock's, an etiquette concern in 2006, in Phoenix, Arizona. For 13 years she was that State's go-to Etiquette instructor. She taught Children, Scouts, nationwide charities, Sorority and Business Fraternities, AZ State University and had small and large corporate businesses as clients. She also had her own sought after curriculum; while insisting on teaching the topic of Etiquette with her own style and flair. A born communicator, Zoë's belief that the topic has as much to do with kindness and care for others, as for which fork we should use and always instilled a strong sense of confidence building in all of her courses.
