My Story
My name is Bianca, and I’m a ISA certified Arborist, I came to trees by way of science, curiosity, and a long, quiet pull toward working outdoors with living systems rather than just studying them or reading about them.
Before I ever climbed, I worked in molecular biology in universities, studying human disease and vaccines. So I didn’t become an arborist as a youngster, I started climbing in my forties. By then, I wasn’t interested in proving anything — only in understanding. Trees don’t reward force or certainty. They respond to patience, attention, and restraint. Learning that has shaped not just how I work, but how I think.
Working on trees has taught me to stay curious, to question certainty, and to notice how often “not knowing” leads to better care than rigid answers ever could.
Girl in a Tree grew out of that mindset. It’s an expression of how I choose to work, what I value, and the kind of relationship I want with trees, clients, and the people I work alongside. Care, values, and atmosphere matter to me — on the ground and in the canopy.
Alongside hands-on arboriculture, I write and create educational content because some things only become clear when you try to put them into words. Trees have been my greatest teachers — not because they offer comfort, but because they are incredibly truthful. About time. About resilience and adaptation. About growth and decline. About what happens when we stop trying to control everything, and what can coexist. For example, an ancient tree can have a very young crown — I love the juxtaposition of these truths.
Working with trees has changed me.
And I’m still learning.
