She is a registered nurse at an adult oncology clinic. Prior to that, she worked for many years at The Hospital fo Sick Children in the Haematology/Oncology Clinic. She recently published a wonderful children's book called "DEREEKIO'S BIG ADVENTURE" which she wrote thirty-two years ago with her six year old patient receiving chemotherapy at the time. He is now thirty-eight years old and they reconnected and decided to share their wonderful and inspiring story.

She has also recently published a fun and magical book called "My Aunt's Ant's AUNT", which was inspired by her nephews and nieces.

Claire has always had a dog in her life. Rosey the schnauzer has been with her for the past five years. The dog's love of riding the transit inspired Claire to write "Streetcar Rosey".
