Before moving to Hong Kong in 2020, Claire worked for Fortune as an editor in London and a labor and management reporter in New York. Prior to that wrote about legal affairs and the courts for The American Lawyer magazine and its daily news sites.

Claire attended Syracuse University, where she earned degrees in newspaper journalism and history with a minor in political science and was named one of the top 12 students in her graduating class of 3,200. At SU, she attended the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications and graduated summa cum laude and with honors.

In addition to journalism, Claire loves running, cooking, and the outdoors. The child of die-hard campers, Claire has visited 46 U.S. states—most by way of a minivan and a tent.
