I believe in the power of community, connection, and creating opportunities for Native youth in the outdoors. After attending the All In Ice Fest as a beginner climber, I helped build the relationships that led to the first Diné Summit Seekers cohort. As co-founder and co-coordinator, I’m passionate about expanding access to climbing and creating sustainable pathways for Indigenous climbers through training, mentorship, and outdoor leadership opportunities.

After starting my climbing journey in college nearly 10 years ago, I realized how rare it was to see other Native climbers in outdoor spaces. That experience inspired me to help create opportunities for Indigenous climbers through programs like Indigi-Climb and eventually co-founding the Diné Summit Seekers. I’m passionate about building community, representation, and spaces where Native climbers can challenge themselves, connect, and thrive.
