Claire Ruppert
Community ManagerClaire Ruppert is a fifth generation Washingtonian and the creative mind of the team. She joined WC Smith eight years ago working in the corporate office's leasing office briefly before being promoted to Community Manager of Clarence House. In 2011, she took on management of the Frontenac's neighboring sister property, Clarence House. Both she and the properties she manages have received rewards in the categories of Excellence, Best Property and Best Performance. Claire's prior experiences as an English teacher at Emerson Prep and as an event planner at the National Gallery of Art are evidenced in her communication style and the seasonal parties she organizes for her residents. She exercises the right side of her brain on the job as a creative problem solver and in her spare time by leading a weekly writers group in Dupont Circle. She can't resist a do-it-yourself project -- take a look at the awesome mosaic table top in our office!
