Claire was born and raised in Warrenton, Virginia, and has been passionate about horses and riding hunters since she was a child. She loves learning something new every day at work and helping equine patients feel at ease at the clinic.

She attended Virginia Tech for three years and worked towards a degree in animal science with an equine emphasis, before deciding to come home to work and gain experience in the horse world. During her time at VT she rode on both the hunter and western IHSA teams and enjoyed participating in the Equestrian Club and VT Clay Target Club. In her free time, she loves riding, birding, hiking and spending time with her beloved chocolate lab Regina (affectionately called Reggie).
