She brings a wide range of skills and experience to the team and enjoys bringing people together to share their skills and achieve goals.
Claire is passionate about understanding people and the ways in which society-wide issues affect us all. Inspired by the work that charities within the Inspiring Scotland portfolio do to tackle some of these issues, Claire is keen to use her skills within an organisation with big ambition.
Claire enjoys spending time with her family, running, yoga, exploring Scotland and watching a great film.
