Claire Raymond- Founder and Facilitator (she/her)
Currently studying psychology, Claire understands the importance of community and the need for inclusivity in queer spaces. Undergoing 21 surgeries for Tethered Cord Syndrome caused by Spina Bifida, Claire has lived with chronic illness for well over a decade, adding POTS and major depressive disorder to her challenges. It was isolating, so she made a change. Locally, Claire launched QD as a safe space for anyone looking for friendship and resources. With the social of QD, she launched her virtual version in 2026 to help extend the community to those who cannot find it locally.
