Claire Wylder

I am Claire Wylder, the first in my family to attend college, driven by a passion for learning and storytelling. My journey began at age five, inspired by my family and my favorite sayings. With a high school GPA of 3.75, I’ve excelled in academics and extracurricular activities, including being President of the Speech and Debate Club. My goal is to attend the University of California, Berkeley, and pursue a Bachelor of Arts in English and Journalism, aiming for a career in investigative journalism to inform and engage my community.
