Lena has been the business manager of Higher Ground since day one. Everyday after work Lena would rush over to Higher Ground to help Frank build the gym.  Lena has worked very hard over the years to make sure Higher Ground runs smoothly and efficiently. Her main job though is to watch Frank and make sure that he climbs what he is supposed to. Lena is a Tax Accountant and Certified Financial Planner by profession. She is also a good mountaineer with ascents of Illiniza Sur, Gua Gua Pichincha,  Corazon and she reached over 19,000 feet on Coto Paxi. In 2015 she climbed The Cosmique Arete in the Mt. Blanc Massif
