Born and raised in Michigan, Amelia was ushered onto the climbing scene in 2012 while living in Cleveland, Ohio, of all places.  Working as an architect at the time, she became a dedicated member of Cleveland Rock Gym and an avid weekend warrior cutting her teeth on the sandstone cliffs of the New River Gorge, WV and the Red River Gorge, KY.

A destination climbing trip to Acadia National Park brought Amelia to Maine for the very first time in 2016.  Before she even reached the park, Maine had captured her heart and she decided that somehow, someday, she would make it her home.

Upon moving to Portland, Amelia joined the Send-It-Sister stretch circle and was immediately drawn to the EVO community.  She loves welcoming others into the world of climbing as others have welcomed her.  When she’s not at the gym, Amelia can be found outside running, hiking, spending time in the woods, jumping in the ocean, or dancing in the front row of a concert.  She’d love to hear about your favorite local band or your latest human-powered outdoor adventure.
