Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
My career has been an eclectic and adventurous journey, shaped by a passion for movement, creativity, and community building. It began with my love for dance, a discipline that taught me resilience, dedication, and the thrill of performance. After years of training and teaching, my path took an exciting turn when my husband and I moved abroad to teach English in Japan and South Korea. Living as expats was a transformative experience—it fueled my sense of adventure, adaptability, and openness to new cultures and ways of life.

My entrepreneurial spirit blossomed as we started small, selling Thai pants and sarongs from the back of our van. From there, we began managing home rentals, opened a stand-alone yoga studio, and eventually co-founded the Climbing Collective—a venture that has grown to include three locations.

What sets me apart professionally is my ability to blend creativity, risk-taking, and community building into everything I do. I’m deeply proud of the youth climbing programs we’ve developed at the Climbing Collective, where we inspire young climbers to embrace growth, teamwork, and confidence. Similarly, the Shri School of Yoga, our yoga teacher training program, reflects my commitment to helping others connect deeply with themselves and their communities.

The journey hasn’t been easy—it’s been filled with challenges, from navigating the unknowns of starting businesses to balancing family life with professional growth. But I’ve learned that persistence, adaptability, and an unwavering belief in your vision can overcome even the biggest obstacles.

What I want the world to know about me and my brand is that it’s built on heart, passion, and the belief that adventure and community go hand in hand. Whether it’s through climbing, yoga, or any of my other ventures, my goal has always been to empower others to embrace their potential and live boldly.
