Growing up in Burke, Virginia, Chloe has always been passionate about protecting the Chesapeake Bay and its residents. She is an alumna of William and Mary, where she received her B.S. in Integrative Conservation and Environment and Sustainability. During her time at William and Mary, she worked as a Research Assistant for the Nutrition Epidemiology and Food Systems Lab, where she assisted with and led projects regarding Indigenous Food Sovereignty and food sustainability. Chloe also served as a Student Geospatial Assistant at William and Mary’s Institute for Integrative Conservation, where she helped develop online GIS courses in support of William and Mary’s GIS curriculum. Additionally, she assisted in William and Mary’s Hydroecology Lab and the Parks and Ecotherapy Lab, further developing her passion for environmental work.

During the summer of 2024, Chloe served as a Randal Summer Fellow for the Piedmont Environmental Council, where she was introduced to the realm of non-profits and conservation work in the Chesapeake Bay. This experience sparked Chloe’s interest in the environmental non-profit field, which eventually led her to the Alliance.

Chloe joined the Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay as a Chesapeake Conservation and Climate Corps Member in 2025. Now as a Green Infrastructure Projects Assistant, she works on workforce development initiatives and stormwater management efforts throughout the Bay watershed.

Outside of work, Chloe enjoys dancing, hiking, paddleboarding, crocheting, reading, and playing piano. She also loves to spend time with her beloved dog, Stella.
