Cocoa and Carols with Claire

Claire directed the Merry Music Makers from 2010-2015 and now jumps in for Project Power music classes as she is able. She is a Board-Certified Music Therapist (MT-BC) with experience in hospice and memory care and recently graduated from seminary. Originally from Sheboygan, Wisconsin, Claire lives near Como Park in Saint Paul. Claire loves to sing, read Harry Potter, take her dog for a walk, bake, knit, and play board games.

I was born in Marshall Minnesota and lived on a farm for the first 18 years of my life. My favorite hobby is to try any type of creative craft. I started working with the community schools in 1992 as an integration assistant. I have worked with all age groups in many situations. My jobs varied from senior outings to t-ball with preschoolers and teaching students how to use the computer. I have taught classes for Project Power for over 20 years. I teach most of the Project Power craft, cooking and baking classes. I have subbed for just about all of the other classes. I have years of experience and I enjoy the people and the classes. The best part of Project Power is the opportunity to work with the participants and other staff. I have worked with so many wonderful people and I have had so many laughs.
