Bio
Hi, everyone! I’m not very good at talking about myself, so bear with me for a bit. I’m really excited to meet all of you, and I hope I make a good first impression.
I’m Tala Ocampo, born and raised in San Francisco, California. If you ever stop to visit, prepare to get your legs in shape because there’s a LOT of hills, and I’ll expect you to do a LOT of walking. But I’m sure if we’re friends, that shouldn’t be a problem. Walking is one of my favorite things to do, so it would come to no surprise that I am an avid hiker. I love taking strolls in the woods and being close to nature. I’m not afraid to get a bit dirty!
The only thing I love more than hiking is rock climbing! But I suppose those things go together, don’t they? I spend almost all of my time (free and otherwise) being active whether it’s on my regular hikes through the forest, climbing out in nature, walking through the steep streets of my hometown, or at the climbing gym that I work at, “Take Me for Granite Gym”!
I’ll be happy to teach any of you how to climb safely, or go on walks. I also am looking out for a workout partner. We always need someone to spot us when lifting, right? HMU!
Oh! I also have a cool prosthetic leg. So don’t be off-put by it when we meet. I think it’s pretty cool. I have different attachments for the feet for whatever I’m doing like running, and climbing. The climbing foot looks like a mountain goat’s hoof almost. Isn’t that clever?
Anyway! I hope we all get to be close friends. I’m really excited to collaborate with all of you!
