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

Claire’s idea of fun? Testing limits and trying new things. They’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, they’re 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 them.

What sets Claire apart isn’t just their fearlessness—it’s also their perspective. One of the biggest lessons they’ve 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 they’d give her younger self.
