Her qualifications, expertise and dedication have also earned her the position of Secretary of the Board of Directors and Head of the Legal Unit at Guaranty Trust Bank (Liberia) Limited. Zoe's leadership qualities have propelled her to the role of Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Liberia Telecommunication Corporation, LTC Mobile Company. She is an active member of esteemed professional organizations such as the Liberia National Bar Association, the Supreme Court Bar, and the Association of Female Lawyers (AFELL), and she holds the prestigious position of President of the Rivercess Bar Association.
