Claire was born in France. She spent most of her childhood near Toulouse (in the south of France) where her family is still based. She has two sisters and a brother.She moved to London to pursue her dream of musical theater. She had discovered "Les Miserables" by Claude-Michel Schoenberg and Alain Boublil when she was little and dreamed to perform in it one day. She soon discovered that she loved acting as much as singing and started working in plays and films as well as musicals and cabarets.She trained in London at the actors' center but also felt the need to more in depth work on Shakespeare and completed a course at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art on the subject. She then went to Los Angeles to gain an understanding of the American way of screen acting. She followed classes at the prestigious Margie Haber studios and Ivana Chubbuck studios over there.Claire fell in love with Los Angeles and now resides there.
