Chloe got her start in research as a research assistant for the Justice and Blameworthiness Lab (JABLAB) at TCNJ.

Chloe recently wrapped up her second internship with the Department of Children and Families in (DCF) in New Jersey. Her first internship in the Spring of 2025 was a research internship for the Police-Youth Initiative (PYI), which was to help build trust between the police and youth who live in urban neighborhoods. The second internship in the Fall of 2025 was a research internship for the Kinship Navigator Program (KNP), which was to financially and emotionally help families who were fostering children whose biological parents were struggling with substance abuse, incarceration, etc.

Extensive exposure in both quantitative and qualitative research along with a background in working with KACS’s data led her to the data position she holds now.
