Biography

Zoe is an educational and developmental psychologist (FCEDP) who lectures in the Faculty of Education's postgraduate Counselling and Psychology programs. She is passionate about supporting the professional practice of future and current helping professionals. 

Zoe's teaching and research interests centre on the ethical and professional practice of helping professionals, including teachers, counsellors, and psychologists. 

Her PhD study 'Teacher professional boundaries: Online and offline' was the first to measure conceptions of professional teacher-student interactions among secondary preservice and early career teachers in Australia (conferred 2016). Since 2008, Zoe has lectured in a range of units at Monash, highlighting her broader interests in adolescent learning and development, mental health, quantitative statistics, and psychological assessment.

Zoe previously worked in public schools as a psychologist providing counselling, assessment, and intervention to students in both mainstream and specialist settings. As a practitioner, she is interested in supporting learning and wellbeing in schools, particularly through evidence-based programs and teacher professional development.

Zoe is a member of the Australian Psychological Society (APS), an elected member representative on the National Committee of the APS College of Educational and Developmental Psychologists (2016-2019), and a member of the APS Psychologists in Schools interest group.
