Biography

I started climbing at 10 years old with my whole family (who still climb to this day). I took to competitions very quickly and always appreciated the challenge of competing under pressure. I was always looking for the next step in competitions as well as outdoor achievements. I now have 32 World Cup Medals, 5 victories and 4 World Championships wins (all in Open)I also achieved the level of grade 10 Royal Conservatory piano and am fluent in French.
