Born in Thailand, Kloy grew up playing music and singing. However, choral singing was not widespread there, so it was not until she came to the United States as a high school exchange student that she experienced choir herself. She fell immediately in love. Kloy completed her master's degree in Choral Conducting at the Shanghai Conservatory of Music. She is currently pursuing a Doctor of Arts in Choral Conducting at the University of Northern Colorado where she is focusing on the research of Southeast Asian Choral Music. She was the winner of the 2020 South Western American Choral Directors Association Graduate Conducting Competition.
