Claire has more than a decade of aquatic experience, including stints with the City and County of Honolulu, Hawaii Swim Club, the YMCA of Honolulu, and the Hayward Area Recreation and Park District in California. She is a graduate of the University of Hawaii and holds multiple American Red Cross certifications. About Claire: “I am new to Oregon, just having moved here from the island of Oahu in Hawaii. Since moving from the islands I have fallen in love with the coast and its fantastic community. I have over a decade of experience in the aquatic field. As someone who got their start in city swim lessons as a child, I am thankful to now serve the City of North Bend and provide these same programs for the community.” Claire’s hobbies: “Outside of swimming, I enjoy cooking, crafts, rafting, volleyball, golf, and traveling.” What I am most looking forward to in my new position: “Is to bring joy and lasting memories with a variety of programs to the community after the rough two years we had with the pandemic.” The best advice I ever received: “There is no reason why you can’t only why you didn’t.” Welcome aboard, Claire!
