You were born in Santa Cruz, California, United States.

Between the times I was training in Berkeley to now, I moved to Boulder, Colorado. I have always been extremely motivated and have wanted to put my best work forward in anything that I do. Therefore, when I was 15 my family and I moved so that I could train with the best team in the country and improve my climbing skills. Although my parents had to make multiple sacrifices, it turned out to be “worth it,” and they love Boulder now!
