Cloé's hometown, Sudbury, is known for its mining history and producing talented hockey players. Her mother, however, wasn't fond of the ice arenas and loved the beach and sunshine, which led her to introduce Cloé to soccer instead.

She earned a Bachelor of Arts and Sciences degree at the University of Iowa, majoring in Law with a minor in Communication Studies and French.
