I grew up in Madison, WI nurturing my love for outdoor adventures from a young age. I’ve been camping, hiking, and swimming in Wisconsin’s lakes, forests, and bluffs since before I can remember. This led to a natural curiosity towards climbing, and I began exploring the climbing scene at Devils Lake and Governor Dodge. After that I joined the Boulders Climbing Team where I spent multiple years as a proud ‘comp kid’– and I still love competing today. My first involvement with DLCG was during climbing team trips where I instantly felt welcomed by a team of talented instructors that I’m grateful to now get to work with. Through these experiences I fell in love with the midwest climbing community and knew I wanted to share that with others, first as instructor with the Boulders youth summer camp program and now with DLCG.

Connecting with people has always been central to who I am, both in and out of climbing, where I’ve worked as a classroom teaching assistant and community organizer with March For Our Lives. I’m also a college student so when I’m not climbing you’ll find me studying to become an American Sign Language interpreter!

I can’t wait to share my enthusiasm and love this wonderful sport of climbing with you all!
