Services
My main specialization is with motivated competitive climbers of all levels and ages; I love working with competitors on comp strategy, body awareness, and climbing IQ. I’m available to work with those in the Bay Area looking for in-person coaching, or everyone else interested in remote coaching options (training plans, comp mentality, general training strategy, etc).
Over my time in the competitive climbing industry, I’ve been lucky to have served as head coach for three different programs with a National presence. See my Resources tab for coaching resources, or reach out if you’re interested in consultation, coach development, or programming discussion.
I started my career in the climbing industry as a routesetter and am still currently working as an active routesetter. Contact me if you’re looking for freelance / contract work, or if you’re a competitor or coach looking for insight into routesetting fundamentals.
About
I started climbing at as a hobby at age 7 in Tacoma, WA. After a few years I started competing until I graduated high school; in college I started taking my training more seriously and shifted my focus to outdoor climbing for a few years. I graduated college during COVID lockdowns with a B.S. in psychology with a focus on developmental psych, and originally the plan was to go to grad school. With universities still online, I decided to take a break until they returned to in person classes and started routesetting in the meantime. Soon after I started coaching and stepped up to become the head coach for the gym. What started as an interim job before grad school quickly became my passion, and after moving to the Bay Area I’m having even more fun now than when I started, and feel confident that I’ve found my career for life. At this stage in my life, I’m committed to working with as many athletes, coaches, and setters as I can and developing my skills to be the best coach I can be. When I’m not climbing or working, I enjoy baking and playing Final Fantasy XIV.
Please don’t hesitate to reach out through email, instagram, or my contact form if you’re an athlete or coach looking to work with me. I’d love to meet you!
