Claudette Rickett Spinelli Schwartz

I’m someone who tries to live with purpose — in work, in relationships, and in how I move through the world. I’ve always believed that success means more when it helps others too. Whether I’m leading a team, volunteering, or spending time outdoors, I try to stay grounded and grateful.

I love to cook, to be in nature, and to spend time with animals — those are the things that remind me what really matters. Giving back has always been part of my life, not because it’s expected, but because it feels right. I think small, consistent actions — a kind word, a helping hand, showing up when it counts — are what create real change.

Integrity and compassion guide everything I do. Titles fade, but how you treat people, how you show up — that’s the legacy I want to leave.
