Claudia, a “cradle Episcopalian,” has always felt a connection to St. Dunstan’s. Growing up in the neighborhood, she attended services with classmates and friends in the church’s early days when services were being held in the Tuxedo School Auditorium. In 1982, ties with close friends brought her and her young family permanently back to her church home, where she is active in the Altar and Flower Guilds and has served on the vestry twice as Hospitality and Fellowship – ties, old and new are still important!

Claudia attended the University of Georgia as a business major and after a stint as a Methods and Cost Analyst with C&S National Bank, she took time off to focus on raising her three children. During this “professional break,” she was a partner in her own business, helped her husband establish his architecture practice and managed it, taught preschool, was corporate secretary for her father’s company in Savannah and was a regular volunteer at her kids’ schools.

Over the last 30 years she has provided a variety of services including comprehensive administrative and financial management, as well as marketing and graphic design for firms specializing in the creative fields; architecture, corporate communications, and interior design.

When she’s not working, Claudia enjoys time with friends and family, including two granddaughters, reading, and working on her art projects. She has been a member of the P.E.O. sisterhood for over 40 years, which supports women’s education through philanthropy.

Dunstan, the Archbishop of Catterbury, is our church cat and official greeter. He began life as a feral cat, but over time has come to appreciate belly rubs and being inside on cold days. He loves to welcome everyone on Sunday mornings and will gladly let you pet him.
