“Very few people when they hit that bucket list item, go back and say, you know what? I wish I didn't do this. Very, very few, if ever. Right. You don't do that. You say, God, I wish I would've done it sooner.” - Claudia Skowron
Claudia is someone who prefers to go by many hats. By day she works an adolescent/young adult mental health therapist in private practice. Outside of her professional career, she enjoys sports/exercise, dinners with friends, and above all, TRAVEL. 2019 was the year of battling several major health conditions while still trying to live life to the fullest.
Claudia has been a featured TEDx speaker, presented at the IABH Conference, and most recently received her certification in Clinical Neurofeedback. She takes her academic knowledge, paired with her personal experiences in overcoming health concerns to impact those around her.
