Hi, I'm Clara
I'm a writer and always have been. I went from loving English classes to studying journalism and then working for newspapers and nonprofits. Now, I'm a full-time marketing copywriter. Scroll down to learn more about me, and be sure to explore my copywriting and journalism portfolios.
A Bit About Me
My career at a glance: First, journalism school in Milwaukee at Marquette University followed by fellowships at the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, The Salt Lake Tribune, and more. Then, communications and contract work for Friends of Alta before transitioning to full-time copywriting for Utah-based brands.
​
Free time and hobbies: I'm an avid biker, hiker, and yoga-doer. I love the outdoors, which is why my partner and I live in Salt Lake City. I love to read and am currently writing short stories for fun. I also run a small pottery business on the side.
​
Noteworthy tidbits: In 2018, I completed a thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail. It took me six months to walk 2,190.9 miles, not counting my month off due to a hurricane. In 2020, I biked from Truckee, California, to Yosemite National Park. I have also hiked the Corfu Trail in Greece, and the West Highland Way in Scotland.
​
Favorites: Any book by Margaret Atwood, audiobooks narrated by Jim Dale, my dad's farm in Minnesota, my cat, the Bonnevile Shoreline Trail in Salt Lake City, swimming in Lake Superior or the ocean, and KUER NPR Utah.
