Claire joined St. Mary's in January 2026 after nearly eight years working at an advertising agency, creating marketing strategies and materials in the real estate industry. She grew up in Northern Virginia, attended University of Richmond, and moved permanently to the Richmond area in 2022.  Outside of work, Claire enjoys hosting brunches and dinner parties, spending time with her three sisters, attending weekly trivia, and being active at her home parish, Sacred Heart in Manchester. She is a member of the St. Vincent de Paul and RISC (Richmonders Involved to Strengthen our Communities). She also runs—though she’s still deciding how she feels about it.
