Claudia was born and raised in a tiny village just outside Cambridge, England and is the 2nd eldest of four children. Her Father being a gifted painter and her Mother a notable poet naturally led to Claudia's pursuit of all things artistic at a very early age. She was awarded a scholarship at a local art college and received honors for creative writing but decided to embark on an acting career instead. Studying both in the UK and USA, she finally settled in Los Angeles where she now resides.
