Cool job

She works for a municipality, is very good at competitions, and has a healthy income. It wouldn't surprise me if it's all hers.
 
Oh, I wouldn't doubt it, either... mentioned it because I had a friend in the construction business who got featured in a magazine photoshoot, and they took him shopping because they didn't want him geared up in his normal, semi-worn stuff. They let him keep the stuff, because they had no use for it. Always thought it was funny that they would want to present this unrealistic image of his job by putting him in new clothes/gear when there's no way that stuff would be shiny three days later. Do they think people would freak out, "Oh, my! You get dirty doing that work! I can't look!" or something? Worse, is pickup truck commercials when they take people who are clearly models, put them in what are clearly brand new clothes, then splash some mud on them to make them look like they actually know what they're doing. Always an epic fail, to me.

Anyway, nice to see a real arborist featured!
 
In the magazine photos she had a shiney new Sherrill bag. I think it was product placement.

Point of the post is that Arboriculture is making its way into the mass consciousness. Very good to see a leading magazine pointing young people at this trade.

I've spoken to her last year at the international and saw her in Savannah at the first north american comp. She seems to be a nice person and a good climber. One of these days she will nail it. I'm looking forward to watching her in Tampa next week.
