Hi, I'm Chloe!
Like most teenagers, turning 16 and thinking about future career options is exciting, however, also a little daunting. Having Down’s Syndrome can make the options seem limited in today’s world — but I believe in looking at things differently!
MY STORY
I have been very fortunate in my first 16 years those around me, both at home and school, assume that I can, and because of that, I do. This has given me the opportunity to experience life to the fullest; joining a variety of sports clubs, learning practical skills, interacting with many people, travelling to different countries, exploring new places and my favourite part, tasting delicious cuisines, although not too spicy!
Everyone has their strengths, mine shine through my infectious smile and laugh, my love for connecting with people and my caring and empathetic nature. I love creating and making things, learning TikTok dance routines, performing on stage in hip-hop pop dance shows, and my camera is always on hand for me to capture magical moments and scenery.
CHLOE'S UPLIFTING GIFTING
To build a future that celebrates my strengths, with the amazing support of my mum, family and friends we have created Chloe’s Uplifting Gifting company.
We create a range of seasonal festive décor, crafts, gifts, personalisation of gifts, clothing, named school items and even special gifts for pets!
This company means everything to me because it gives me the chance to turn my passions into meaningful employment, that I enjoy. It’s an opportunity to use my talents and strengths to their fullest and with my family’s support, design and produce creations that bring joy to others — spreading one more smile at a time.
