BeLocal Gilbert & BeLocal Queen Creek are proud to highlight Miss Queen Creek, Chloe Hiller 👑

A Phoenix native and proud graduate of the University of Arizona, Chloe recently earned her Bachelor’s degree in Journalism and is preparing to begin her Master’s degree later this year — continuing her passion for storytelling and leadership.

This June, she will compete for the title of Miss Arizona as part of the Miss America Opportunity — the nation’s leading provider of scholarships for women. Through this incredible organization, Chloe is helping fund her graduate studies while advocating for educational advancement and opportunity for young women across our state.

Her platform, Purpose-Driven Leaders: Identifying Your Strengths, is dedicated to high school and early college students. Chloe empowers young adults to move beyond the pressure of “figuring it all out” and instead focus on identifying their natural strengths early on. Through her YouTube series, Pathways to Purpose, she shares quick, actionable tips to help students discover their “why” and step confidently into their future.

We are so excited to see the impact she continues to make across Arizona and right here in our community. Join us in cheering her on as she prepares for Miss Arizona!
