This past year, she joined the Classical Voice conservatory to expand her musical knowledge through operatic, choral, and bel canto training. She recently performed as Adele in her school's production of Die Fledermaus.

Chloe is a versatile singer in multiple genres. She has won numerous awards, including first place in the Classical, Musical Theatre, and Contemporary music categories at the National Association of Teachers of Singing (NATS) and VoCal competitions. She recently won a Superior recognition at the California State Thespian Festival for solo musical, and won 1st place Duet Musical where she performed main stage.
