Claudine developed a strong belief in music’s positive impact through her experience raising three children to play instruments and sing. She considers musical education as the greatest gift and saw its joyful and healing power when she sees youth performing in elderly homes. With parents residing in Nice and parents-in-law living in Washington D.C., it was important for her to encourage intergenerational connections. Upon meeting Pascale, she was keen to join her efforts because Pascale’s drive, vision and passion strongly resonated with her. Saving her singing talent for the shower, she concentrates on the organisation side of the Happiness Factory using the skills she developed during her career as a management consultant.
