Her research includes peer-tutoring for Latinx students and phonological processes in heritage Spanish. She holds a BA from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, an MA from the University of Arizona, and a PhD from the University of California, Davis.

Her educational background spans key institutions, with degrees in Spanish and linguistics. Research interests emphasize applied linguistics in heritage contexts and sociophonetic analysis. Recent work explores Judeo-Spanish phonology and the impact of online vs. in-person tutoring on heritage language learners.

Claire’s articles highlight trends in heritage language education and phonological theory. Peer tutoring’s role in academic and social support for Latinx students is a recurring theme, alongside phonological phenomena like lenition and spirantization. No scientific awards are explicitly listed, but her work reflects interdisciplinary engagement with language communities.
