About Chloe

Completing my PhD at Northwestern University in Spring of 2026, 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’ve incorporated rigorous methods from political science into my work on political communication. 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.

Winner of Naomi C. Turner Prize, best paper written and presented at the WAPOR Annual Conference by a graduate student
