Jenny Rank, Occupational Therapist (MSOT, OTR/L, CDP)
I knew from a young age that I wanted to work with older adults. I started volunteering in 3rd grade at a memory care facility. I eventually became an Occupational Therapist and now work at the Center of Geriatric Excellence at PSU.
It’s always been a dream of mine to create a rock climbing group for older adults—breaking down barriers and easing fears so more people can experience this incredible sport. Rock climbing has brought so much joy and community into my life—I’ve built lifelong friendships, met my spouse, and even got my 67-year-old mom climbing outdoors. My dream is realized with Classic Rockers, a perfect blend of my two passions: climbing and creating meaningful opportunities for older adults to engage, connect, and succeed.
