Born in Nevada, Clare grew up in a small town in Wisconsin known for its extensive climate changes. Although she started out playing soccer, she quickly made her move to the stage in '98 in the play Star Struck as a cute little snail hunter. She then proceeded to spend her childhood on the stage of Zona Gale Theater. After playing the role of Queen Fairy in Sleeping Beauty, she quickly impressed Utah University drama professor Xan Johnson. It was Dr. Xan Johnson who gave her a taste of emotionally deep dramatic works by casting her as a Flunkie in the production of John Lennon & Me in the summer of 2000. It was also that summer that she started her extensive theater training with teachers who have studied all over the world. It was there that she found her deep love of William Shakespeare, and the ability to move a audience. In 2006 she left the director speechless during her audition for Juliet/Anabelle Stackpoole in the production of Romeo & Juliet, Together and Alive At Last. It would be the role that Clare would never forget playing. After graduating high school, Clare moved around the country for a few years before auditioning for the B.F.A program before the theater professors at University Of Stevens Point. She's currently attending the University of Wisconsin Green Bay to get her B.A in Theatre.
