Chloe Nguyen is studying studied Digital Policy at University College Dublin where she is working with Digital Rights Ireland. She will next attend Stanford Law School as the recipient of a Knight Hennessey Scholarship. She is from Las Vegas, Nevada, and is a graduate of Duke University where she studied Public Policy with a minor in Psychology. Chloe was the founder of Duke Justice Project, a club addressing mass incarceration and improving re-entry in North Carolina. The group’s projects include weekly GED tutoring classes, assisting lawyers with expungement petitions, and executing a supply drive for a transitional home. Committed to decreasing political polarization on campus, and connecting ideologically diverse students across campus, in partnership with Braver Angels, she organized structured debates on difficult topics ranging from social media censorship to reparations.  At WRAL TV, she is a Poynter-Google News Initiative Misinformation Student Fellow, investigated barriers to news access for Spanish speaking communities and surveying those communities to determine perception of and trust in fact-checking.  As a reporter for 9th Street Journal, Chloe broke a story on a blackout at an affordable housing complex for seniors and disabled people which resulted in internal policy change to increase safety for seniors and disabled persons during blackouts. She aspires to continue learning how the online micro-targeting of disinformation and political advertisements into diverse communities amplifies offline polarization and violence and plans for a legal career in technology regulation.
