I’m an avid rock climbing enthusiast. It’s the thing that connects me most deeply to my body and breath. I feel powerful when I touch stone. I simultaneously feel incredibly insignificant compared to the majesty of the natural world. It also regularly scares the shit out of me.

One of my greatest joys has been coaching youth in rock climbing, especially watching young girls blossom as they develop trust in their bodies and experience how powerful they are.

I worked for many years in corporate finance. While I developed useful skills, ultimately I found the environment draining. (That was a polite way of saying it sucked the life out of me.)

I have no doubt that in a previous life I was a spoiled house cat.
