A veterinarian turned full-time rock climber, I never would have thought life would lead me to this. This is the life I could have only once dreamt of living.

A native of Las Vegas, NV, I grew up dancing ballet, riding horses, and being an aspiring artist. My obsession with horses eventually let to the pursuit of veterinary medicine, and I was lucky enough to earn a grant at Colorado State University. I spent most of my undergraduate career and all of my doctorate at CSU, and in my early college years I discovered rock climbing. I never could have imagined how much climbing would eventually shape my life.

Climbing became my primary passion, and to this day it gives me so much. I discovered confidence and strength, an extended family, my loving husband, and so many beautiful and remote places. Climbing has become more than just a past time, it has become life- and what a beautiful one it is!
