Project Description
Jannette first learned how to climb from her college outing club at the Gunks in 1981. She was one of the charter members of the Gunks Climbers’ Coalition back in 2002 and hasn’t taken a break yet. Over the years she has been visiting the Gunks as a college outing club student, a weekender, a parent, as well as a local and private cliff-owner, and also enjoys hiking, bicycling, cross country skiing and mushroom foraging.
Her degree in computer science led to a long career in software engineering and program management. Her second career is in digital marketing and she is now doing SEO, web analytics and Google ads for the Culinary Institute of America. She also manages her own (out of date!) website, cliffmama.com which features a blog about climbing with kids and provides information about the Gunks. She’s taken on the role of the Gunks Climbers’ Coalition webmaster, mailing list administrator and social media community manager, as well as managing our Google Drive archives, and taking on various digital tasks.
As Secretary, her tasks include taking minutes at GCC meetings, monitoring the GCC email address, archiving letters and memorabilia from our activities, and participating in GCC planning, events and decisions.
