A hobby enthusiast, tea addict, & animal lover.
Clairissa spends (a little too much of) her free time scrolling through Instagram animal reels and may at any given moment be caught taking pictures of her delightfully large cat, Pumpkin. Outside of animal-loving, she also enjoys exploring new art mediums , reading Leigh Bardugo's latest novel, and vibing to good music. While doing so, Clairissa almost certainly has a cup of tea in hand—she drinks 9 cups per day (cpd) on average and boasts a personal best of 17 cpd (but if you don't believe her, here's the data viz to prove it).
