Claire has been with CUP since June 2022. She walked into CUP one day excited about the diversity and inclusion the office proudly presents. She comes from a small town called Grafton, ND, and was thrilled to see people who were different and to find a place where she could be herself, a queer Latina. With her position she helps people from different walks of life, which is what she has always been passionate about. She gets to help people who are homeless find apartments with North Dakota Rent Help.

When she is not working, she is with her three kids who she adopted. They are why she continues to do the work she does.
