Born and raised in Mexico City, she was already on treakins in her father's backpack-chair even before she could walk. Her father, by the way, was a great explorer in his time, and he passed that passion on to Claudia.

She has practiced mountaineering, alpinism, climbing, diving, caving, rock climbing, canyoning, river rafting, cycling, and swimming. On each excursion, in addition to the adventure, she has always made good friends. She studied Biology - Pharmaceutical Chemistry with a specialization in Food Chemistry and a postgraduate degree in Psychotherapy. She has taught at all levels. She has worked combining her three passions: science, nature, and people, both in industry and in training (leadership through rope courses for 20 years).

Since 2013, she has worked at Natural Habitat Adventures as a field operations specialist, coordinating the logistics of Monarch Butterfly tours in Mexico Her hobbies—traveling, reading, and hiking—are currently enjoyed with her daughter Ximena and her friends.
