Bio
Claire was born in Newfoundland, Canada and spent much of her time exploring the forests hoping to get a glimpse of any animals that may be nearby. Growing up in the Caribbean and later moving to South Florida, she also spent much of her time exploring the coastlines and swamplands. After completing her degree at Florida Atlantic University, she sought an experience that would allow her to immerse herself in the great outdoors.
Embracing her passion, she joined Yellowstone Safari Company as an intern. Although Claire did not have any previous guiding experience, she is driven by the belief that exposing people to the wonders of nature fosters a deeper appreciation and commitment to conservation. Her prior experiences have laid a solid foundation for her current endeavor.
Claire’s involvement with the Icelandic Orca Project granted her the opportunity to study and observe these magnificent marine creatures, while her time working at a private game reserve in South Africa honed her skills in wildlife management and preservation.
This was a fantastic tour, especially for us since we had never been to Yellowstone before! Grant and Claire were our tour guides, and we couldn't have had anyone better. We saw all of the highlights of the park, and plenty of bison, elk, and even a bear. All in a day! Definitely do this tour if you are considering it, and ask for Grant or Claire!!
