Claudia was born in Nashville and grew up in Charlotte, North Carolina and Chesapeake, Virginia. In undergrad, she studied International Studies concentrating in International Health at VCU in Richmond, Virginia, completing her capstone research in Zacapa, Guatemala evaluating community health needs. She was fortunate to stay at VCU for medical school, developing interests in providing health care to local and global communities, medical education and peer mentoring, and oncologic and end-of-life care. A fourth year rotation on Vanderbilt's oncology service solidified her interest in hematology-oncology and desire to train at Vanderbilt. Claudia is thrilled to return to Nashville to be near family, especially her “Memaw.” Outside the hospital, she enjoys traveling, hiking, cooking, strength training, yoga, crocheting, and cuddling her cat, Leon.
