Hello! I’m Claire.

(she/her)

I’m an actor, singer, and educator living in Chicago, Illinois. I moved to the city after graduating from Northwestern University in 2024, where I studied theatre and speech-language pathology.

I’m originally from Fort Worth, Texas. Some people tell me that I have an accent, but I’ve yet to be convinced.
