Claire grew up in the Chicago suburbs and developed an appreciation for horses at a young age through yearly summer visits to Mackinac Island, MI.

During the end of her undergraduate studies, she began working at an equine referral practice in Driftwood, Texas where she fell in love with equine medicine and never looked back. She attended veterinary school at Texas A&M University and graduated with honors. In veterinary school, she held active leadership roles in the Student Chapter of the American Association of Equine Practitioners and was awarded the Dr. Bill Rood Leadership Award.

Claire enjoys all aspects of equine practice including emergency medicine, dentistry, and podiatry.

In her free time she enjoys riding, creating stained glass art, hiking, and spending time with her husband, Ryan, and their dog, Oakley.
