About Claire

I am currently in my third year of studying occupational therapy at the University of Adelaide, having relocated from my hometown of Echuca, a small country town in Victoria, to pursue my studies. This move has helped me develop independence and adaptability, while also strengthening my commitment to supporting others in meaningful ways.

Outside of my studies, I enjoy staying active through sports such as netball and basketball, and I have a strong appreciation for spending quality time with the people who are important to me, including my friends and family. I also enjoy going for walks and reading, which help me maintain a balanced and positive lifestyle.

I would describe myself as friendly, adaptable, and adventurous, with an easy going and agreeable nature that allows me to connect well with others. I am naturally extroverted and energetic, while also remaining calm, patient, and caring in my interactions. I take pride in being conscientious in everything I do, ensuring I am reliable, attentive, and supportive in both my personal and professional life.
