Hi there! My name is Claire, and I am an actor, singer, VoiceOver artist, and filmmaker located in New York City.

​

I grew up in the southwest suburbs of Chicago as the 4th of 8 kids in a big Irish-American family. My family maintains the story that I was "singing before I could speak". Growing up, I naturally gravitated toward performing in any way I could. From theatre, to voice recitals, to home movies I made with my siblings as a kid, I have always had a passion for storytelling and performance.

​

I graduated from the Boston Conservatory at Berklee with a B.F.A. in Musical Theatre, and relocated to New York City to pursue a career in theatre, film and television!

​

In the fall of 2023, I wrote, directed, produced and starred in my debut short film, Homesick for You Even in Heaven. The film follows an afternoon in the life of 23 year old Rose Ganley, who returns to her Midwestern hometown to visit her family after an unsuccessful year of auditioning as an actress in New York City. Along with her three sisters, Rose wrestles with the unromantic struggles and realities of leaving home to pursue her dreams. The film is currently in post-production. Stay tuned for updates!

Some of my favorite roles include Emma in Jekyll and Hyde, Woman 1 in And the World Goes 'Round, Rosemary in How to Succeed... and Lucy in You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown. 

​

When not performing, I enjoy exploring the city, smelling every candle in TJ Maxx, dancing around in the kitchen, and keeping up with the latest films and music. Thanks for visiting!
