Chloe Downey is a Musical Theatre major at Youngstown State University. She also plans on minoring in Creative Writing and Music. Chloe graduated from Crestview High School as a Valedictorian with both a Fine Arts and Academic Honors Diploma. Throughout her academic career, she has had many opportunities to be involved in the arts, from being a part of many shows to performing in the band and choir to making arts and crafts in her basement. She has also had many opportunities to work with other students through tutoring and youth mentoring, and she is very excited to work with students even more! Chloe truly believes that the arts are a very important part of the world. Theatre, music, dance, art, writing, etc. provide individuals with many useful skills. She is so excited to continue pursuing what she loves while sharing that love with the world around her. She is so thankful for the opportunities that she has had so far and the ones to come.
