Zoe Farmer
About Zoe
Zoe joined Genius Within as a career coach and case manager in our employability team in 2018 after working in administration since leaving school. She is currently studying for her degree in psychology and her level 5 professional workplace coaching.
Zoe has lived experience of being unemployed, of masking, of having to pretend she was someone she wasn’t. She understands at a personal level the experience of marginalisation and exclusion. In her own journey, as a single mother in a mixed-race family, she has learned to share with her clients her understanding of how we get misunderstood and how to walk the talk.
