She grew up in Delta Township and lives in Lansing with her husband, Don, Dunkin the dachshund, and Niblet the cat. When she isn’t on the clock, Claire loves camping with her husband and their friends, getting in nine holes with her beloved golf league, researching enviable mocktail recipes, and searching for the best french fry in town.
