Originally from Atlanta, Georgia, Trisha moved with her family to Washington in 2013. She became involved with ISF as a volunteer when her oldest child started Kindergarten at Newcastle Elementary. Since then she has lent her expertise and passion to the Issaquah School District in a number of ways, including serving as Co-Chair of the Newcastle Elementary Auction, Newcastle PTSA President, as a parent representative on the ISD Boundary Committee, and as a parent representative on the Elementary Return-to-School Committee during the Covid pandemic.
Trisha graduated from the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) with a B.S. In Applied Biology and earned her M.B.A. From the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University. She enjoyed a 15+ year career in brand management, new product development, and marketing strategy, leading various global brands at Johnson and Johnson and driving marketing strategy for The Hartford, as well as developing market entry and revenue growth strategies for a variety of businesses as an independent consultant.
She is excited to utilize her strengths in strategic planning, consumer insights, servant leadership, and relationship-building to bring our community together in opening doors to opportunity for our ISD students.
