Rose is a Summer Mountain Leader, healthcare professional, and passionate advocate for the healing power of the outdoors. Her work is rooted in the simple belief that time in the mountains can change how we feel, how we think, and how we see ourselves.

With a background in mental health nursing, Rose has spent years supporting people through some of life’s most vulnerable moments. That same care and attentiveness shape her approach in the hills. As a qualified ML and BMC Ambassador, she leads inclusive, welcoming hikes across the Lake District, encouraging connection to the landscape, to others, and to inner resilience.

Alongside guiding and healthcare, Rose plays a key marketing role at ISM, where she channels her creativity and understanding of storytelling into growing community and visibility. Through thoughtful content and strategic digital engagement, she helps share the impact of meaningful outdoor experiences with a wider audience.

Testimonials For ISM

Thanks for a fantastic week. It was really one of the best things I have ever done. I learned a lot during the week, not only about climbing technique, but also about attitude.

Just a quick word of thanks for the course last week. Our guide Tom was excellent and covered a lot of miles to ensure we got the best conditions and great routes in and was always ready with a word or two of advice when needed - please pass my thanks on to him

Neil, our guide for the week, was exceptional; a true professional, a huge inspiration and just great company. He shared so many useful tips with us and had great stories to share too. Looking forward to booking another course with ISM!”
