During her time in high school Chloe realized an important value of hers: giving back and working with her community. In late 2016, Chloe joined her high school's Food Pantry as a marketing volunteer. She worked closely with students, parents, and other community members in order to gather and distribute food and toiletries. Her most unique moment from this experience was to be able to meet the parents who organized the Food Pantry and see their perspective on how they give back to the community. Looking back, Chloe attributes this opportunity as one of the more pivotal ones in establishing her long term goals to work in the non-profit sector.
Being that Chloe does enjoy an active role in her community, in May of 2017 Chloe started working for a locally owned bookstore, Scrawl Books. On a day to day basis Chloe would be able to talk and work closely with customers to find that perfect book they needed, but sometimes she would find the customers helping her more than she expected. One of her fondest memories was during a late shift and a customer recommended a book to Chloe, instead of suggesting the recommendation and moving on, the customer then turned around and bought the book and gifted it to Chloe. She has kept the book ever since then and values it for the customer's kindness. She has learned so much about the people who live and work around her through this one after school job.  Currently, in addition to studying for her degree at the University of Richmond, Chloe holds two part-time jobs with her school's athletic department as a Videographer and Equipment Manager for the football team. She enjoys getting to know new people through her school and her job and particularly enjoys travelling with the football team to new states and other universities. While she maintains these two jobs on campus, she still regularly picks up shifts at her locally owned bookstore where she has worked since May 2017.
From all that she has done, and hopes to continue to do, Chloe has been most inspired and impacted by her family and those around her. She hopes to be able to use her education to continue to help others that may not have been given the same resources, opportunities, and chances. She has gained a perspective on the length that kindness, determination, and open mindedness can go and hopes to be able to employ those attributes towards her future goals!
