Claire was born and raised on the next Finger Lake over from Ithaca, in Geneva, New York. Back home, Claire participated actively in her High School Theater department, performing roles such as “Tracy Turnblad” in their production of Hairspray in 2013. During the summer months Claire loves to take part in her local theater’s musicals that take place at the end of each summer. This past August, she performed the role of “Gingy” in Shrek The Musical.

While in Ithaca, Claire enjoys performing with IC’s various vocal ensembles as well as working with the copious amounts of wonderfully talented faculty and students that surround her.
