graduated from The College of Wooster in Wooster, Ohio in May of 2023. She was born in Guangxi Province, China, and was adopted at the age of 11 months by a single mother and grew up in Texas. 

This website is a result of her senior Independent Study thesis project that she completed for her undergrad requirements. She has always wanted to do her research on adoptees and after working under her professor, Dr. Ziying You, she knew that she wanted to focus on the pandemic's impacts on adoptees' identity and well-being. This motivation was heightened by her own experiences with Asian racism and discrimination growing up. 

Zoe currently is attending graduate school to eventually work with adoptees, Asians, and Asian Americans in a clinical setting. She also hopes to partake in more adoptee research in the future, as the current literature is very limited. She was part of the Fulbright ETA position in Taiwan from 2023-2024.

She would like to thank numerous individuals for their contributions and support to this finalized project. All acknowledgements can be read down below.
