                                                        Born and raised in Philadelphia, attended
                                                                     West Chester University for biology/education
                                                                     (BSEd and MEd) but needed something more. 
                                                                      So off to Japan she went.  A melee of travel,
                                                                     bike races, mountain climbing, and husband
                                                                     meeting  (Baba and Clair met while she was in
                                                                      Japan) later ...  Clair was a high school science
                                                                     teacher for 8 years!, after calling it quits,
                                                                      decided to take over a friend's pet care
                                                                      business and follow her true passion, her love
                                                                      of animals.  Thus, Paws & Pals was born.  She
                                         is a proud mama of Ume and Kai (right) and 3 lovely lady
                                        bunnies (Usagi, Vela, and Girard).  Who live in a tiny
                                         house in South Philly with her very understanding
                                        husband Baba. They also have a regime of stray kitties in
                                        their back yard that they have taken under their wing. She has
                                        worked with animals of all types in a professional capacity
                                         since high school at the Academy of Natural Sciences
                                         (where she currently teaches part time),volunteering at
                                         local shelters, and through various pet care experiences. 
She loves being outdoors; camping, hiking, biking, gardening, and having a chance to have her paws go with her.  And yours!  She hopes to attend a vet tech program soon to increase her knowledge of how these crazy paws work.  She loves working with rescued pit bulls and promoting responsible ownership.  Her current plan is to focus on exercise physiology and nutrition in her course work and incorporate them into Paws & Pals to promote healthier, happier urban paws.  She is also training in weight pull methods to vary the exercise experiences that Paws & Pals offers, and to offer it to local shelters.
