Experience
Claudia began writing for The Spruce in 2020, where she’s covered business news from IKEA, new product line launches, and all things home decor and design.

With everything she does in her career, she wants to use her skills and expertise to bring others joy, help them learn, and show them how to craft their best life.

Claudia graduated from the University of Missouri’s School of Journalism, where she earned a Bachelor of Journalism with an emphasis in magazine writing.
