She navigates work and life as a mother, partner, guide, ally, and Mammut Ambassador.In this episode Andrea talked about how she started her guiding career in Vermont, how she found harmony between motherhood and work, and how she regained her footing after a devastating accident almost claimed her husband, Steve’s life.
During her interview, Andrea expressed gratitude to the climbing community, emphasizing the immense support she’s received. Andrea is humble, and resilient, competent and professional, she loves what she is doing and she is damn good at what she is doing.Now please enjoy this episode.
