Claire was born and raised in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and, after her gap year, moved to Toronto in September 2020 to begin her studies. The highlight of her first year was participating in the Trinity One Butterfield Environment & Sustainability stream. She enjoyed the opportunity to strengthen her public speaking skills while also enriching her love for nature and the environment around her. Although her year of Trinity One was online, it was an incredibly integrative and valuable experience, and she is so excited to continue her involvement with the program. Claire is hugely looking forward to meeting this new cohort of Trinity One students, and is available anytime if any student is in need of support. Be it the transition to university, Trinity One assignments, or just needing someone to talk to, Claire is there for her students!
Other than being a second year mentor, Claire is the Co-President of UC US, a sexual assault survivor support coalition at University College. When not doing school work, you can find her trying new restaurants, exploring the city, and learning new languages!
