Chloe is studying Public Policy and History with a certificate in Child Policy Research.

On campus, she writes opinion columns for the Duke Chronicle and contributes to research related to K-12 public education, child maltreatment prevention, and NC’s policing history. Chloe attended the 2022 Public Policy Leadership Conference at Harvard University’s Kennedy School and the 2023 Summer Honors Academy at the American Enterprise Institute. After graduation, Chloe intends to take part in a research fellowship in Washington, D.C. before pursuing a J.D.
