Nina's early years were filled with the warmth and love of a family of three children, with her older brother and sister serving as a constant source of companionship and support. However, this idyllic scene was forever altered when tragedy struck, leaving an indelible mark on the young Nina's life. At the tender age of three, her father, a keen hiker, met his untimely demise in a fatal accident while venturing into the great outdoors. This devastating loss had a profound and lasting impact on Nina, profoundly shaping her worldview and influencing the values that would guide her as she navigated the complexities of life.
Nina's journey into the realm of climbing commenced at the tender age of 13, when she first stumbled upon the thrill and excitement of scaling vertical surfaces.
