ABOUT ME:

A desert girl at heart, I am from Phoenix, Arizona, living in Basalt, Colorado. I love moving in the mountains and being outside between trail running, rock climbing, skiing/skimo racing. La Sportiva perfectly aligns with all three of my outdoor passions and I am grateful for every day that I get to explore- either my backyard mountains or beyond! I love long days out to push and test my endurance whether it be a crazy line on the map I drew for training, an ultramarathon, or an aesthetic multipitch. 

PROUDEST ACCOMPLISHMENTS:

Feb 2017 | Finishing my first ultramarathon - Black Canyon 100K, Arizona
Feb 2018 | Winning my first international ultra race- Tarawera 100K, New Zealand
Jun 2018 | Winning my favorite race, and longest completed to date- Lavaredo 120K, Cortina, Italy
Aug 2020 | When Audi, my husky pup, climbed her first 14er in Colorado, Mt Sneffels, at 8 months old via the SW ridge (quite scrambly)
Apr & Jun 2022 | 1st female at Madeira Island Ultra Trail 85k; 1st female at UltraDolomites 80K
Mar 2022 & 2023 | Winning the Tellurando Skimo Race, but mostly proud for learning how to ski 3 years ago

Q+A:

Who is your favorite climbing partner?

My dog, Audi, and partner, Dave, are my favorite buddies for climbing, running, and skiing. Audi is always in the lead, pacing me and reminding me I can go faster. Dave shares my love for the rambling mountain missions that not many people are silly enough to get talked into.

What is your go-to hype song?

Jungle by Tash Sultana
