Claire is an educator and service leader with a background in social science and 15 years of experience in community-based services. She is a strong advocate for community-based service provision. 

Claire's interests include team and workplace relationships, children’s play, daily routines and rhythms, excursions and regular outings, sleep and rest, and supporting children’s learning about their own and others' mental and physical health. These interests equate essentially to how children or adults feel, how they spend their time and how this social reality impacts the way they learn and develop. 

Claire loves swimming, yoga, cross-stitching, her inner-city lifestyle, and meeting wonderful people. She also enjoys taking great photos of epic sunsets. Her balanced cup profile is led just ever so slightly by her connection and freedom cups, which mean she’s always keen for a chat about how the world works or how we could theoretically fix it!
