While in col­lege, she cheered, danced, and com­pet­ed in Cross­Fit to stay busy. In 2022, she com­plet­ed her Doc­tor­ate of Phys­ical Ther­apy from the Uni­ver­sity of St. Au­gus­tine in Miami.

Fol­low­ing her own per­son­al jour­ney through phys­ical ther­apy, Clara has found even more pas­sion for in­jury pre­ven­tion and re­ha­bil­i­ta­tion. She be­lieves that phys­ical ther­apy is vi­tal in the ho­lis­tic care of the hu­man body and is the great­est al­ter­na­tive to med­ic­a­tion pre­scrip­tion.

Her ex­per­i­ence in­cludes pel­vic floor and out­pa­tient or­tho­pe­dic phys­ical ther­apy. Aside from phys­ical ther­apy, she also en­joys tri­ath­lon train­ing, Olym­pic weight­lift­ing, read­ing, wine tast­ing, learn­ing about his­tory, and tak­ing her dog, Kingsley, to new cof­fee shops.
