Bio: My climbing story actually began in the Alps of France, as I followed a friend up my first outdoor climbs and my first peaks. Initially, it was Highlining that had caught my attention, however climbing proficiently to reach the peaks I wished to span became a huge part of my endeavor. After breaking and setting womens world records in Highlining for six straight year, and creating and running the Womens Highline Meeting in Czech Republic for a decade, I began to move away from highlining, and found myself climbing more and more. In 2018 I moved to Moab, Utah, to be closer to the cracks of Indian Creek. And so began my guiding career! I have always been passionate about being a steward in the outdoors, about leading the way for women and helping break down barriers to entry. As I start my own woman-owned guiding company for climbing, canyoneering and highlining in Moab, Utah, I am excited to be one of the only women-owned guiding businesses locally, and to market to women. I hope to eventually expand my services to work with disabled and adaptive athletes, to create specialized activities to bring the world of climbing and highlining to everyone. Additionally, I hope to help instill some legitimacy to the reputation of highlining, which was birthed from rock climbing and needs good leaders and role models moving forward. Aside from climbing, I am a passionate gardener, a happy cat owner, and a huge proponent of mental health. I look for opportunities to collaborate with others and bring out the best in each other.
