She first discovered Swax Lax in fifth grade through a girls’ lacrosse YouTuber, igniting her passion for content creation and youth development.

Lacrosse has shaped who Chloe is today, teaching her teamwork, perseverance, and leadership lessons that she carries on and off the field. Her connection to Swax Lax began early, as she used the balls growing up to safely hone her cradling skills at home, building confidence and control. This passion for improvement extends off the field, where Chloe has nurtured her storytelling and content creation skills while working with Illinois Wesleyan's athletics communications staff. Swax Lax is proud to have Chloe's creativity, passion, and dedication representing our brand!
