Hi, I'm looking forward to meeting everyone in person at Wall Walkers!
I’ve been climbing for 11 years with around 9 years of competition experience and have consistently made top 6 climbers (finals for the comps) for about 7 years.
I won the Queensland state title in 2016 and am now unofficially retired from competition climbing. With the addition of my son to our family, I am looking to peruse other aspects of climbing more, such as coaching and helping the next generation of Climbers!
My favourite thing about climbing is all the different ways I can challenge myself and push the boundaries of what I’m capable of...plus all the amazing people in the climbing community.
And much more...
