Hi, I'm Claire
My name is Claire Gibbons, and I’m an educator and higher ed consultant who believes we often make things more complicated than they need to be.
I have been both a faculty member and an administrator in community and technical college settings, and I understand how valuable it can be to work with someone who knows both roles.
The people I work with admire my honesty and my spreadsheets, and I love their commitment to always putting students first.


If you're looking for a thought partner who is organized, curious, and invested in meaningful change, I'd love to work with you!
