Claudine Carter Pereira

Board Member 

Claudine, known as the “Forensic Ballerina” is currently the Crime Lab Director at the Broward Sheriff’s Office. She has been fortunate to have the best of both worlds; a 20+ career in forensic science and yet still maintain a passion for the arts as a dancer and dance instructor. 

Born and raised, in Freeport, Bahamas, where she began dancing at the age of three, she acquired a strong foundation and love for dance.  From the age of nine through most of her teen years, she studied extensively at the Joffrey Ballet School in New York City in their Trainee Program.  Claudine put her dance career on the “back-burner” to pursue a Bachelor of Science Degree in Biology from Loyola College in Maryland and later a Master of Science Degree in Forensic Science from Virginia Commonwealth University.  Despite her change in career path, she attributes many of her successes in life to lessons learned in ballet class. She shares this concept through her passion for the art of dance and has mentored many young dancers who have come to realize that they too can have the best of both worlds.
