  • Claudia first started making silly quizzes for The Cambridge Tab way back in February 2021.
  • She now writes mildly more serious news stories for the main site, and deeply unserious entertainment stories.
  • Her dog has more Instagram followers than she does. And is about ten times as glamorous.

Experience

Her work has appeared in The Independent, Den of Geek, Square Mile, Screen International, Creative Review, the Museums Journal and The Hampshire Chronicle. And also in the newspaper she made for her Sylvanian Families toys when she was eight.

Education

Claudia studied Classics at the University of Cambridge. Since ancient Greek grammar is a fairly useless life skill, she then did a Master's in Magazine Journalism at City, University of London.
