I climb because I love the level of intense focus required to climb your best. That feeling of 100% concentration when you’re trying your hardest, when nothing else in the world matters, is what I’m always chasing. I have climbed and competed since I was 10 years old have no plans of stopping. I am currently a member of the Canadian National Team in bouldering, lead, and speed, and my goal is to qualify for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. I have climbed V10 on two continents, 5.14a in Squamish, and have a Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of British Columbia.
