Claudia graduated from Team Academy in the summer 2019, she went on to open the first vegan sushi restaurant in Amsterdam: Plant Based Sushi.

She started by hosting regular events over the last year which became increasingly popular, leading to her opening her own restaurant in Amsterdam West this January.
