A previous Saint Thomas Girl Chorister Course participant and floor leader, Claire is excited to return to the course in a staff role. She attended the Girl Chorister Course for nine years, and recounts it as the best week of her summers. During the school year, Claire is the School Nurse and one of the Housemothers for Saint Thomas Choir School, where she oversees daily residential life and tends to the emotional, social, and health needs of the choristers. After receiving her Bachelor’s of Science in Nursing, she started her career as a nurse on a cardiac surgical step-down floor in Wilmington, North Carolina. After working in the hospital, she transitioned to a position as a school nurse in a public school in Leland, North Carolina before moving to New York to pursue her dream of working at STCS.
Claire lives at the Choir School with her two dogs, Ziggy and Buddy, and her husband. In her spare time, Claire enjoys walking in Central Park with her dogs, crocheting, cooking, playing tennis, exploring the city, and playing board games.
Claire’s favorite moment of the course has always been the first rehearsal in the gym, where you can hear the resonance of many voices becoming one and truly feel that you are part of a greater whole. Claire is thrilled to return to the course as a staff member this year and looks forward to working with the girls and creating the meaningful, transformative experiences that are unique to the Girl Chorister Course.
