Meet Claire, a fearless go-getter with a soft spot for adventure and a serious love of curry. Her favorite movie quote, “Just be a rock,” from Everything Everywhere All at Once, is a perfect snapshot of her grounded but dynamic nature. Hailing from Austin, Texas, Claire is always on the move—whether she’s rock climbing, rowing with her school’s crew team, coaching roller derby, or chasing adrenaline on white water.

Claire’s idea of fun? Testing limits and trying new things. She’d leap at the chance to be a smokejumper for a day or swap lives with Aang from Avatar: The Last Airbender—“I would just like to try air bending,”. And when it comes to music, she’s all ears: currently in a pop phase, but on a mission to listen to 100 new albums this year just to see where it takes her.

What sets Claire apart isn’t just her fearlessness—it’s her perspective. One of the biggest lessons she’s learned recently is that having goals is great, but real growth comes from staying open to change: “There’s always time to make a different choice.” It’s the same advice she’d give her younger self.
