About Me

Claire is currently a senior at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island. She will graduate this May with a double major in Education and Economics. She grew up in Potomac, Maryland, often visiting museums in D.C. or crabbing on the Chesapeake Bay. Claire has dabbled in recipe testing for cookbook authors, food styling and writing, and has even worked at a local cookie shop. She is passionate about developing accessible and delicious recipes, and is excited to work with Dorm Therapy to provide tips to busy college students like her. Claire's work has been featured in Edible Rhody and Culture Magazine and can be found on her blog saltandsesame.com. In her free time, she can often be found knitting, reading fiction, or eating a good turkey sandwich.
