Claire is a senior programme manager, supporting the delivery of Nesta's healthy life mission and its projects.

Before Nesta, Claire worked for a range of social impact and peacebuilding organisations internationally and in the UK, recently including The Social Change Agency, the RSA and St Ethelburga’s Centre for Reconciliation and Peace. They bring a breadth of knowledge and experience around building flexible and responsive programmes and specialise in intercultural peacebuilding and conflict transformation.

Claire nurtures a flourishing life out of work, maintaining a ceramics and creative writing practice, travelling and mountain hiking. They uphold a lifelong commitment to always be actively enrolled in learning something and volunteering.
