I was first introduced to Acro in the summer of 2018 after a friend I was climbing with spontaneously invited me to a class and I've been hooked ever since! I fell in love with the ability to be silly and playful while doing something physically demanding alongside some really cool people. I take a pretty relaxed approach to Acro, but I still enjoy pushing myself to try new things. Often you'll find me working on F2H, fun flows, and learning how to base! While I don't climb anymore, I also love slacklining and fire spinning!

I've been into climbing for over 10 years now, been working at Ascend as a coach since 2018 and have loved bringing newer climbers into the fold! Climbing at the gym a couple times a week is great, but I really love getting on real rock whenever I can. New River Gorge and Seneca Rocks are a couple of my favorite crags! Outside of climbing, I like to paint landscapes, bake sweets, play board games, and develop video games (a little bit of everything!).
