Need help finding the thread and telling your story? Zoe can help.
For years, Zoe has worked with communities to organize for betting conditions before pivoting to journalism to tell those stories. Now is offering support to writers and organizations who need support developing a pitch and identifying outlets and possible funders. She is also available to help weave networks, build coalitions and raise money. Zoe’s reporting has been featured by the BBC World Service, The Washington Post, Mongabay, and Next City, and she was one of the first people in Wisconsin to call attention to the risks connected to hyperscale data center developments.
Most recently, Zoe worked with the Couillard Solar Foundation to convene people across Wisconsin around climate-resilience conversations. She doubled the amount raised during the Foundation’s annual festival, and landed media coverage with The Cap Times and Wisconsin Public Radio.
Previously, Zoe covered mining and deforestation in Brazil for Mongabay. Her stories on Brazil’s 2018 presidential elections, the Zika crisis, and the Olympics appeared in outlets ranging from DW, and US News and World Report to NBC News, and she has also reported from the Brazil/Venezuela border on the refugee crisis there.
Some of her latest productions have been a weekly feature for WORT-FM on how to stand up for democracy and a podcast for the Wisconsin Farmers’ Union exploring the common ground between farm and non-farm workers.
Zoe is available for consultations on podcast and story development for businesses and journalists. She is also available for research, writing and audio commissions. Zoe is fluent in Spanish, Portuguese and Italian.
