Chloe Fried has always had a passion for helping others. She was born and raised in Chandler, Arizona and she has a passion for swimming, reading, and volunteer work. In 2023, Chloe became a certified lifeguard through the American Red Cross.
Chloe is attending ASU for her Bachelors in International Public Health after finishing her associates degree at the age of 17. Her ultimate goal is to become a Pediatric Neurologist and she is proficient in American Sign Language. Chloe has worked as a volunteer with Swift since June of 2023. She has lead the Primary after school programs all year, volunteered at Swift Saturdays, sorted Keppies, attended Camp Swift as support staff, and she has volunteered with all the events Swift had hosted. Chloe enjoys preparing for events and helping with what she can but her favorite part of Swift is working with kids, especially the primary kids, who teach her just as much as she teaches them. Hello everyone! I'm Courtney Berman, and I'm absolutely thrilled to be joining the amazing team at Swift! Currently, I'm studying Social Work at Arizona State University, driven by my passion for helping young children thrive in life.
Outside of my studies, I love spending time outdoors, whether it's hiking, traveling, or simply enjoying quality moments with my family. Professionally, I've been fortunate to work as a Pre-K teacher at Temple Chai Religious School, which I adore. I've also spent time in Jerusalem, Israel, where I supported children with disabilities for three months—a truly impactful experience. My summers have been filled with enriching experiences as a camp counselor at Camp Stein, nestled in the peaceful pines. This love for camp led me to Swift in 2015, where I've been volunteering passionately for over eight years. I'm deeply committed to Swift's mission, evident through my involvement as a counselor and support staff at Camp Swift. I also took the lead in establishing the Swift Club at my high school, recruiting over 150 volunteers. Even after graduation, I continued to contribute by helping develop programs and facilitating events. I'm genuinely excited to start this new journey with Swift, where I hope to use my skills and experiences to further our goal of empowering youth and promoting positive growth. |
