Upper Limits Climbing Gym and Pro Shop

General Manager - Chesterfield

Emily’s experience as an educator gives her a unique perspective for the Upper Limits family. With a degree in Art Education and a MEd in Educational Administration, she taught art for 9 years in public schools across Missouri and Oklahoma. After her first climb at Jackson Falls in 2010, Emily co-founded a climbing organization for her students. Soon after, she began working at Upper Limits first as a part-time staff member, then as an assistant manager, and now as a General Manager for the Chesterfield gym. By incorporating her passion for inspiring young people and families to have a joyful climbing experience, she is working to integrate climbing through partnerships with local schools. Her love of travel keeps her looking out for the next good climb.
