Teresa Coimbra joined our team in January 2022 as a Communications & Social Coordinator while pursuing her Bioengineering degree at the University of Sheffield. Now, as an Athlete Manager and Podcast Coordinator, she combines her passion for climbing with a commitment to empowering women in climbing.

After graduating with Honours in her Master’s in Bioengineering, specializing in BioPharma, Teresa completed an impactful internship researching malignant throat cells, which is now advancing into potential diagnostic applications. This experience not only fueled her scientific curiosity but also reinforced her dedication to making a difference in the world.

In the climbing world, Teresa has turned dreams into reality. Recently, she achieved the long-aspired route “Kind of Magic” (7c+) in Portugal, flashed a 7b, and bouldered V9/V8. Her adventures have taken her across the globe, climbing stunning rock faces in Red Rocks, the Czech Republic, Austria, and many more with her partner, Will Bosi. Each new crag brings the thrill of connection, as she believes climbing is as much about the community as it is about the challenges.

Through her Instagram community (@tcpc5525), Teresa fosters a supportive space for women in climbing, building relationships that uplift and inspire. She actively champions the voices of women in the sport, pushing back against outdated narratives and encouraging a new generation of climbers.

Guided by her father’s wisdom—“Although a ‘no’ is always certain, a ‘yes’ is a possibility, so go for it”—Teresa approaches both climbing and life with tenacity and an open heart. Her unique superpower lies in her ability to connect with fellow climbers, making friends wherever she goes and staying in tune with the ever-evolving climbing scene.
