Climbing has had a positive impact on Meg’s life. She loves to spend long days outdoors, striking a balance between epic-ing and relaxing in the mountains. Having climbed in venues like the Mendenhall Towers of Alaska, Peru’s Cordillera Blanca, Wyoming’s Wind River, and Teton Ranges, we bet she’s had her fair share of both. But more important than the place, Meg says,

“It’s not only about what we climb but who we share the experience with!”

Meg started her career in the outdoors working as an instructor for Earth Treks’ Outdoor School. She led a variety of programs ranging from experiential-learning-based trips for the Hill School, University of Delaware freshman orientation programs, and U-Penn leadership seminars, to introducing first-time climbers to the outdoors at local venues in the DC/Metro area. She now works with smaller groups in Colorado and Utah opening people up to growth and exploration in the mountains. Her passion creates a space where people feel at ease and inspired.
