My name is Chloe Brussard. I grew up in Andover, Massachusetts in a family who loved sports. I played soccer, basketball and lacrosse growing up and I was on my Varsity track and field team for four years. Growing up in a town so close to Boston, my family was always involved in sports, whether we were playing them or watching them.
Each of my three sisters and I are all going into fields where sports are involved, from exercise science to sports administration. Our passion for sports and love for healthy competition helps motivate us to constantly improve ourselves.
