Claire Wardell

Hello! My name is Claire, and I am a proud alumna of the University of Michigan Ross Weekend MBA Program, Class of 2026. I also hold a Bachelor's degree in Finance from Michigan State University and have built my career in automotive finance, with experience in pricing, forecasting, and cost analysis.

Ross provided a transformative experience that empowered me to confidently shape my career path, strengthen my professional network, and align my work with my core values. I am grateful to have been part of a diverse and supportive community that celebrates each other's successes and encourages continuous growth. Through the Ross experience, I enhanced my communication skills and emotional intelligence, helping me become a more effective professional and leader. I am also proud to graduate with the Michigan Ross Leadership Endorsement, which further developed my ability to lead with authenticity and impact.

Outside of work, I enjoy painting, reading, traveling, spending time in nature, and making memories with family and friends. I look forward to connecting with future Ross students. Go Blue!
