About Me

Hi, I'm Claire! You've almost certainly never heard of me...

I'm originally from North Wales but now live in the Midlands and I'm a millennial woman which means writing about my life on the internet is practically mandatory. This website is a home for any writing longer than a social media post.

My interests are fairly wide ranging: I'm a feminist, a history graduate, a politics nerd, and an avid reader - all of which inform my writing. I've also been a triathlete for over ten years and have written extensively about various athletic adventures including training for and running the London Marathon in 2017. I'm a passionate advocate for equality of all kinds.

My professional life is in higher education where I work as a research development manager, facilitating interdisciplinary collaborations and supporting major funding applications. I also support a range of work to create a more equitable and inclusive culture for research in the UK.

About Writings of Claire

I write about anything and everything that takes my fancy: from the serious to the frivolous. Expect to hear about feminism, politics, triathlon, pop culture and more.
