Her educational background includes an Executive MBA, a Bachelor\'s in Business with a focus on Human Resources, and a minor in Marketing. Additionally, she holds certifications in Veterinary Practice Management, Human Resources, a Six Sigma Green Belt, and Fear Free Certification. A published author in Today’s Veterinary Business, Claire has shared her insights through speaking engagements both within and outside the veterinary industry, covering over 20 topics on leadership, time management, emotional intelligence, and communication. Residing in Orlando, Florida, Claire enjoys life with her husband, Jamie, their two amazing adult sons, and their beloved pets: a Golden named Bradley, a Schnauzer named Muffin, and a cat named Spot.
