Zoey's journey has been anything but ordinary. Before being adopted at the age of 15 by her art teacher, she spent years moving between various foster homes, never quite finding stability or a sense of belonging. It wasn't until her adoption that she truly began to feel seen and supported. Her art teacher recognized Zoey's passion and talent and became a pivotal figure in her life. Now, as a college student majoring in arts and theatre, Zoey has discovered a way to channel her emotions and experiences into her creative expression. Acting and visual arts provide her with an escape from her inner world and allow her to communicate in ways that words often cannot capture. Art has become more than just a hobby for her; it serves as a lifeline that helps her navigate the complexities of her past while embracing the future with confidence.

Zoey wishes for a special perfume for her birthday. After trying it at the store, she would love to own it. This gift is something she has been wanting and wants to wear as her signature scent—something that makes her feel confident, celebrated, and a little extra on her big day. Gifting her this perfume would be a thoughtful way to make her birthday feel more meaningful with something personal that she will truly enjoy.
