Teresa Coimbra

Teresa Coimbra (@teresa_coimbra_climbs) joined Lattice in January 2022 as a Communications and Social Coordinator while completing her Bioengineering degree at the University of Sheffield. Before climbing became the centre of her work, she graduated with Honours in her Master’s in Bioengineering, specialising in BioPharma, and went on to complete an internship researching malignant throat cells, work that is now progressing towards potential diagnostic applications.

Although her career has taken her deeper into the climbing world, Teresa has never lost the scientific curiosity that shaped her early path. She still brings a very nerdy brain to everything she does, from understanding athlete stories and managing projects to asking too many questions until something finally makes sense.

Since joining Lattice, Teresa’s role has grown alongside her place in the climbing industry. Now an Athlete and Project Manager, she works across athlete and ambassador partnerships, project coordination, podcast support, media initiatives and storytelling. Her role sits between athlete care, marketing, communications and community, helping athletes feel supported and making sure stories are told with purpose.

Outside of Lattice, Teresa’s work in climbing has grown through community projects, athlete support and opportunities that align closely with what she cares about most. She is one of the executive producers of Allta, a climbing film following women developing new lines in the Scottish Highlands, a project that reflects her commitment to supporting women in outdoor climbing and helping more female voices be seen and heard.

Teresa is also building roots in Edinburgh while travelling the world climbing with her fiancé, Will Bosi. Her own climbing has taken around the world, with ascents including “Kind of Magic” 7c+ in Portugal, a 7b flash and boulders up to V9/V8 in Red rocks, USA. On the road, she often supports hard climbing trips in every way they require, from belaying and filming to marketing, logistics and emotional support.

These experiences have also opened doors for Teresa to keep developing her skills in the wider outdoor industry, including helping behind the scenes at events like the Pro Climbing League. For Teresa, this work is never just about performance. It is about people, trust, shared effort and the communities that form around climbing.

Through her small but mighty Instagram community, Teresa continues to share her life in climbing with honesty, humour and openness. She wants her online space to feel real, showing the exciting parts, the messy parts and the moments in between, while encouraging others, especially women in climbing, to take up space and believe they belong.

Guided by her father’s wisdom, “Although a ‘no’ is always certain, a ‘yes’ is a possibility, so go for it,” Teresa approaches work, climbing and life with curiosity, tenacity and an open heart. It is also the advice she would give to anyone unsure whether to take a chance. Say yes, try anyway, send the email, enter the room, ask the question. You never know where it might lead, and sometimes it might just take you somewhere that once felt like a dream scenario.
