Originally from the South of France and coming from the field of fundamental research academics, Claire immigrated to Canada, and then graduated with her Masters degree in Genetic Counselling in 2012. She first began her clinical practice in the field of oncogenetics and prenatal genetics in the public system in Quebec. She moved toward reproductive care in 2018 while working as the in-house genetic counsellor at a fertility clinic in Quebec. In the past two years, she moved over to a private genetic counselling company and remains dedicated to empowering fertility patients' reproductive choices. To enhance her empathetic patient-centered approach, she is working to complete a perinatal psychology certificate at University of Quebec in Montreal. Concerned with making medical genetics accessible to the general population, she developed some French-speaking content on social media under the name @la_genetique_en_clair.

Claire is thrilled to collaborate with Meaghan and sees patients privately with DNAide.
