Chloe Drougas
Chloe is a year 8 Australian student who is part of The Big Smoke Next Generation program, being mentored by Loretta Barnard. Chloe drives her family crazy with her strong opinions and well thought out arguments as to why it’s okay that her room is a mess. She is passionate about human rights and gender equality—so don’t say things like "it's a boy/girl thing" unless you want to get into a heated argument. Her passions are reading, writing, and drawing and she has keen interests in juggling, anime, learning Japanese, and collecting books. Chloe loves to play soccer and is currently supposed to be practicing for her 5th grade trumpet exam.
