Claudia earned a B.A. in English literature and studied accounting and finance at the Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto. She was the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of the University of Toronto Schools and the Assistant Director of Risk Management for Ernst & Young Canada (EY). In 2020, she graduated from the University of Toronto with a Master of Theological Studies degree, before returning to her true passion: art.

Claudia's animated shorts have screened at festivals around the world – from off-Broadway in New York City, to a children’s television network in the Czech Republic. Her most recent animated short, titled “Buon Ferragosto”, was screened at Academy Award-qualifying film festivals in North Carolina and Illinois in the USA. She has won awards for her animation, most recently in Milan, New Jersey, New York and South Carolina.

In July 2023, Claudia’s artworks were exhibited at an art show titled “Buongiorno, Buonanotte" at Galleria360 Arte Contemporanea in Florence, Italy. The art catalogue from this solo exhibition was later accepted into the book collection at the Eberhard Zeidler Library of Art & Architecture at the University of Toronto’s Daniels Faculty of Architecture.
