Hollywood Boulders 2024

Inclusive, empathetic, and enthusiastic.

After many years, the climbing community has become a welcoming space where I can truly be myself and enjoy the outdoors. It took some effort, but it was definitely worth it. Historically, climbing hasn’t been the most inclusive sport, so it’s important to queer the crag and ensure everyone belongs. I want to help other queer individuals feel welcomed and included in our community. That is why I am very excited to join the Queer Crush team!

My favorite climbing style is slab, especially when it involves slopers and pinches and requires some technical skills. Though, I can be quick to dyno the finish...

Fun fact: My first sport was competitive jump roping!
