Entering her senior year at Pinetree Secondary School, Zoe is thrilled to serve as the Internal Vice Chair of Ascend 2026. What drew her to Ascend is how it opens the door for people with zero case competition experience, letting them dive in and compete on equal footing with attendees who've done this a dozen times. She's noticed that the biggest transformations happen with first-timers, watching them go from unsure where to start to arguing their point with total conviction by the end of the weekend. This year, she hopes every attendee, beginner or not, leaves with more confidence than they walked in with. Beyond the world of case competitions, you can probably find Zoe losing her voice at concerts, hopping between restaurants around Vancouver and meticulously logging every meal on Beli, or working her way through glass after glass of Shirley Temples like it's a personal competition. She can't wait to see everyone at Ascend 2026!
