Dr. Clayton was born in Manila, Philippines and emigrated to the US at the age of seven. She grew up in New Jersey and Maryland. She chose to return to the Philippines to attend university, in order to appreciate her roots and experience "the old country", which pleased her parents greatly.

She proudly served in the U.S. Air Force for sixteen years through the military medical school (USUHS), practicing flight medicine, general dermatology and Mohs, before separating from the U.S. Air Force at the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. Dr. Clayton completed her three year dermatology residency in San Antonio, TX, practiced for three years and then completed a one year Mohs fellowship at Vanderbilt University.
