Claire is the Online Project Leader at Doorstep Library and supports the delivery of online reading sessions. Claire has a degree in Psychology and a postgraduate qualification in Clinical Psychology and Mental Health. She worked as a primary school teacher in London for several years, where she made it a priority to create a classroom environment that celebrated reading. From daily story time to building a cosy reading corner and choosing books she knew would spark her students’ imaginations, she aimed to help children develop confidence, curiosity and a genuine love of books. A lifelong book lover herself, she has been passionate about reading since childhood and always has a growing ‘to be read’ list on the go. Claire hopes to continue promoting reading for pleasure through her work at Doorstep Library.
Claire’s favourite children’s book is Matilda by Roald Dahl.
