Claire’s career as an advocate and human services professional spans over two decades in Connecticut in both the private and public sectors.  Prior to coming to the State Unit on Aging in September of 2019, she worked within municipal senior and social services and oversaw a Senior Center where she saw many programs and services supported by the Older Americans Act “in action”.  Claire became a FrameWorks Institute-certified Reframing Aging Facilitator in early 2020. She continues to support access, education, empowerment and supported living and she loves celebrating aging in her professional work at the state level…now, with a “Reframing” twist!
