MORE THAN MOUNTAINS.

Climbing is a big part of my life, but it isn’t all of it. I seek the intersections of climbing, identity, community, and creativity. From guiding in complex terrain to organizing affinity outdoor events, my work creates space to ask ourselves about who gets to belong outside, our purpose as climbers, and how we create room for more people to participate.

COMMUNITY & FESTIVAL ORGANIZING

I help create spaces where BIPOC, Trans, and Queer people can climb, create, and connect. During our inaugural year at Outline, we sold out 250 tickets for a full day of artistic workshops, climbing clinics, live performances, and community engagement.

STORYTELLING & CREATIVE WORK

As a writer and creator, I’m drawn to stories about climbing, identity, and the communities we build outside. I share reflections and creative work on Instagram.

PROFESSIONAL CLIMBER

Climbing continues to shape how I approach movement, partnership, and possibility. I graduated from the SCARPA Athlete Mentorship Initiative and was a speaker at Memphis Rox’s Rox Fest in 2024.
