Zoe Neal
2026
Zoe Neal is heading into her second year in the UCLA Pathway program this fall as this year’s Ruby’s Rainbow McKirgan Family Scholarship Award recipient, with graduation expected in 2027, or 2028 if she chooses the optional third year career focus.
Zoe is proud to be living on her own in an apartment with roommates, and this year she also learned to confidently navigate the UCLA campus using Google Maps independently, real markers of her growing independence. Looking ahead, Zoe wants to work with children, with a particular interest in childcare or becoming a Labor and Delivery Nurse’s Aide.
Zoe loves to dance, travel, and spend time with her friends.
So excited for a fantastic second year, Zoe! Keep exploring campus and chasing that dream of working with kids.
