Biography
I learned how to rock climb as a teenager in the Sierra foothills. Between after school sessions at Lovers Leap and weekend trips to Yosemite Valley, I quickly fell in love. During these years, climbing and the people I met began to shape who I am. For me, climbing provided confidence, community, freedom, and an intense connection to nature that I hadn't experienced before. More than anything, it preserved the child like sense of adventure and wonder that seems to fade with time. After moving to Montana for university, I knew that I wanted to become a mountain guide. My desire was to inspire others and share these experiences with others.
