At age 16, she published her first realistic fiction novel, Just Like Butterflies, which details the experience of an adopted girl suffering from post traumatic disorder. The book was published in 2010 and reprinted in 2014. It was one of the titles selected to represent Indonesia at the World Book Fair.

All proceeds from Just Like Butterflies were used to improve the education condition of children in the city of Ambon. Aside from her interest in improving the educational welfare of Indonesian children, Claudia is also concerned with poverty alleviation. She has written extensively about this issue and has worked on efforts to help raise awareness for the cause.
