ABOUT ME:

Born in France and raised in Northern California, my passion for climbing began in 2001 when I was 8 years old. As a youth competition climber, I spent my childhood traveling to competitions and climbing outside. After taking time off to attend university and work in fashion, I realized bouldering was my #1 love and I dedicated myself to being the best climber I can be. 

I love inspiring others to believe in the “impossible” because I believe we are all limitless. I am passionate about climbing hard, powerful boulder problems and giving it all I got. If my fingers aren't bleeding by the end of a climbing trip, I don't feel satisfied!
