Her father works in marketing at the Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh. Chloe began dancing at age 2, competing from age 4 to 13 for the Abby Lee Dance Company. Her titles include: 2011 National Miss Small Fry (Dance Educators of America), 2011 Junior Miss Dance of Pennsylvania (DMA), and 2012 National Junior Miss Energy (Energy Dance Competition). She also competed two numbers (musical theatre and ballet) in the 2011 Philadelphia YAGP Semi-Finals, placing in the top 12 in the Pre-Competitive division. From age 9 to 13, Chloe was an original cast member of the reality dance show "Dance Moms," appearing in seasons 1-4. From the first episode, Chloe's sweet and modest nature, along with her natural balletic talent, won her many fans throughout the world. During her time on the show, she portrayed young Lux in the music video "It's Like Summer" and appeared in co-star Brooke Hyland's music video, "Summer Love Song." She also modeled, won several special competition awards, and appeared on talk shows such as "The View," "Katie," "Showbiz Tonight," and "Anderson Cooper." Throughout the series, she competed over 45 solos, as well as many duets and trios and most group dances. Conflict between her mother and Abby Lee Miller created a hostile environment, and Chloe left first the ALDC, and finally "Dance Moms" in 2014. In high demand now that she was free of the ALDC, Chloe was invited to be a demonstrator and assistant for Blake McGrath in the VIP Dance Events convention (Calgary, Oct. 2014). She became a spokes-model as well as a catalog model for Just for Kix, a dance-wear company, partnering with them for an anti-bullying video and campaign called #Nobody is You. Chloe continued her dance training at Studio 19 Dance Complex near Pittsburgh, joining their award-winning competition team for their Spring 2015 season. One of her dances was an anti-suicide duet with Madelyne Spang. Then she joined the Triple Threat Tour as a guest performer and assistant for several dance conventions in 2015/2016.

She also appeared in a humorous between-seasons promo for NBC's "Super Store." Chloe's well-publicized return to "Dance Moms," beginning with a post-competition visit to the team in Dec. 2016, evolved into her rejoining the show for season 7B.
