A love for writing and language had Clara pursuing her B.A in Linguistics and Multilingual Studies, which also coincided with when she picked up Singapore Sign Language, out of curiosity about minority linguistic communities.

After a stint in advertising as a copywriter, she had the opportunity to delve into her interest in accessibility and working with minority communities at Equal Dreams.

As a Team Lead, Clara oversees the development of programs focused on accessibility and disability, and creates training to grow the pool of access professionals in Singapore. She also manages communication strategy and marketing for the organisation, and is involved in various accessibility consultancy projects in the arts and education sectors. Clara also provides accessibility services such as Singapore Sign Language interpreting and speech-to-text interpreting.

Work aside, Clara is an avid reader and hobby hopper who enjoys dipping her toes into new things. The fun is always in the trying!
