What Zero Gravity meant to you:

• Zero Gravity offered me a place to train with people with equal motivation and skills to myself. This allowed me to push myself harder than I ever thought I could. Between the coaching and my teammates at the time, Zero Gravity allowed for my climbing to reach a point that it never had before. I still cherish my days climbing on the team and I use many of the lessons I learned in those years in my everyday life. 

 

Favorite place to climb/travel:

• Europe in general

• Rodellar, Spain

• Joe's Valley, UT

• Bishop, CA

 

What you went on to do with your life:

• I am currently in my final semester at San Francisco State University as a Kinesiology: Exercise and Movement Science - Human Performance Analysis major! That is the longest title ever! I plan on attending graduate school to earn my Master as a Physician Assistant.

• After my final year on Zero Gravity I became a coach for the team and I have been coaching for the past five years.
