Claire Surma
Project Manager
Claire and her husband were living the digital nomad lifestyle—residing in different areas every few months—before officially calling home to Astoria, Oregon via Bozeman, Montana. They love the outdoors, where you'll find the pair hiking, skiing and getting out on the water. “I really like travel. All parts of it: The booking, the planning, researching next destinations and then actually going places.”

Your Personal peak/high of the year
“My husband and I bought our first home, which was a pretty big deal.”

Advice you'd give January 2023 version of yourself
Chill out a little bit. Don't take yourself and everyone around you so serious. And if you don't know the answer to something, it's okay to ask.

Favorite work-from-home perk or accessory:
“The remote part is so huge; being able to take advantage of visiting family and friends in different spots and still being able to maintain a work schedule. I love everything about working remotely. I'll never go back to working in a traditional office environment. My husband also works remotely, so it's nice to have a co-worker, yet not co-worker.”
