I completed my Bachelors of Science in Nursing in 2004 from Seattle University College of Nursing and began my career as a nurse on the Medical Unit at Seattle Children’s Hospital. I quickly became interested in the challenge of Emergency Room nursing and transfered to become apart of that team also at Seattle Children’s.

In 2013 I gave birth to my first of 3 beautiful daughters (now ages 10, 8, 6) and switched my focus to Primary Care nursing, working in outpatient settings that focused on staying healthing and developing relationships with the individuals I care for.

Following the 2020 COVID Pandemic I’ve been looking for ways to use my extensive background in nursing. I was drawn to Rainier Medical Education program run by Dr. Julia Overstreet, Podiatrist. I received both didactic (lecture & textbook) education and over 30 hours of hands on training under the Podiatrist to complete the requirements of Certified Foot Care Specialist. I started Foot Care by Clare to build a client base I can provide specialized foot care to, with expertise and compassion and regularity.
