” ‘Be who you needed when you were younger’ is a quote I always come back to. This could mean a mentor, a role model, a friend, or just being visible as who you are. This is why LGBTQ representation in sports is important to me. I want to be who I needed when I was younger for anyone who needs it, whether for the kids I coach, or someone brand new to climbing who just wants to feel comfortable and welcomed in our sport as who they are.”
