Claire brings 16 years of volleyball experience and six years of coaching expertise to Wildfire Volleyball, where she proudly serves as both an Assistant Director and National Program Head Coach. She currently leads the 13 National Premier team. In her past two seasons at Wildfire, she had the 13 National Open (2024) and 16 National Premier (2023) teams, while also supporting the club’s IAM! Training and State Program Training.

Her coaching journey includes roles with USA South Volleyball. While there she assisted with two teams and earned the Assistant Coach of the Year award. Claire also coached at Rival Volleyball, Spanish River High School, and American Heritage Middle School. Claire’s foundation as a former NCAA Division I and II student-athlete has helped shape her into a coach who understands the mental, physical, emotional, and technical aspects of the game.

Originally from Nashville, you’ll hear a few “y’all”s during her training sessions. Off the court, Claire is all about balance and fun-you can usually find her at the beach, traveling, or practicing hot yoga. She believes that the same dedication and joy she finds in her lifestyle should be brought into the gym. Her goal is to create an environment where athletes are pushed to compete at their highest level while still loving the game.
