Behind the Mind

Claire Beimel

I graduated from Texas Christian University with a Bachelor of Science in Journalism. Throughout my storytelling journey, the idea of leading with curiosity has prominently shaped my approach to both journalism and life. Asking questions and genuinely wanting to understand our planet ignited a fire in my heart for seeking untold stories. While every narrative is unique, I’ve always been drawn to nature. From bringing new perspectives to light to capturing fleeting moments through a lens, my passion lies in exploring and sharing the stories that shape life on Earth. 

I believe storytelling has the power to spark wonder, inspire change, and foster deep connections between people and the world around them. My hope for The Wild Mind is to highlight the delicate balance of our ecosystems and the urgency of protecting them—because our lives truly depend on it. Leading with curiosity has taught me to stay open to life’s unfolding paths—to embrace the unknown, seek new perspectives, and find meaning in unexpected places. The Wild Mind is a reflection of that journey—an exploration of nature, culture, and the stories waiting to be told.
