Claire Harkey is originally from Jackson, Mississippi, and moved to New York 3 years ago to attend The New York Conservatory for Dramatic Arts. She graduated in May 2008, and since then has been living a delightful life in the city. In August, Claire completed an independent short film about human trafficking, and since November has been taking classes with Julie Garfield at The Terry Schreiber Studio. Claire loves traveling, but has never had the opportunity to combine her adventures with her acting, so she cannot wait to join DAT in Ecuador.
