She is an avid climber and competitor as well. She has bouldered v12 and climbed 5.14a, including her recent first female ascent of Mango Tango at the New River Gorge. She also makes regular appearances in semi-finals at the National Cups for both bouldering and sport climbing, and she likes to give back to USAC by being an athlete member of both the Ethics and Judges Committees.
Throughout her climbing career, she has been particularly interested in the mental aspect. She has a passion for refining her own mental game in both outdoor and competition climbing, and she strives to share what she has learned with anyone who is interested.
