About Chloe
Currently I am the Gloria T. and Melvin J. “Jack” Chisum Postdoctoral Fellow at the Annenberg Public Policy Center, University of Pennsylvania. Throughout my career, I’ve maintained the goal of teaching and researching at an R1 college level, working and publishing with world-class faculty.
The desire for an interdisciplinary approach to scholarship brought me to Northwestern where I incorporated rigorous methods from political science into my work on political communication, and graduated with my PhD in 2026. The love for both communication and political science led me to pursue my master’s at The Ohio State University, with a focus in political communication. I did my undergraduate studies at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, majoring in both communication and international relations.
Personally, I enjoy traveling abroad for both business and leisure, and have visited nine different countries so far.
In my downtime I enjoy following Formula One racing, and I’m a proud McLaren fan.
