Her 'Why': As an amputee myself, I know how life changing prosthetic care can be.  When I learned that only 2% of the world's amputees had access to prosthetic care, it seemed like a natural place to lean in.  

Favorite ROMP moment: June 30th, 2018 when I joined my first Climbing for ROMP hike. I submitted Colorado's Mount Bierstadt on the one year anniversary of my amputation after having not been able to hike for many years.
