Survivor season 44 contestant Claire Rafson works as an investor for Eniac Ventures since October 2021

Claire graduated from Dartmouth College with a bachelor's degree in History and Native American Studies. According to her LinkedIn profile, during her time there, she was a part of the "SHEBA Dance Troupe (Director), Inter-Sorority Council (VP of DE&l), Academic Tutor, Sigma Delta Sorority (Executive), Rockefeller Center for Public Policy and Dartmouth Outing Club."

She is currently an investor at Eniac Ventures. In her LinkedIn profile, she also mentioned that her job designation required her to work and "invest in promising early-stage startups."

Prior to her appearance on the competition series, in an exclusive interview with Parade, Claire opened up and revealed that being on Survivor was one of her lifelong dreams.

She added that she's been waiting since she was four years old, which amounts to around 21 years now and shared that she had always wanted to give it a try, finally finding the courage to apply this year.

Speaking about her favorite moment in the history of the competition, Claire shared:

"I think this is a bit of a cop-out because it’s many moments. I think my all-time favorite moment was just Cook Islands, basically. I loved the Aitu Four just dominating. And specifically, my favorite moment was every time they sent Candice to Exile Island."

Opening up about one experience that has prepared her for the competition, Claire shared:

"I think it’s hard, so I’m going to cheat on this one. I think for me, just living has been that life experience. (Laughs.) So for reference, I’m this loud as hell 5’2” queer Black Jewish girl. And so for my entire life, everywhere I’ve been, I’ve been the odd one out, and I’ve stuck out like a sore thumb."
