Trisha has always been deeply invested in public education. Her undergraduate degree is in both elementary and special education, and she has a Master's degree in Curriculum and Instruction. After graduating from college, she became an elementary classroom teacher. She continued to learn and grow as an educator and received a reading endorsement and became a National Board Certified Teacher. Trisha was very passionate about continuously improving her craft and reaching her students to make an impact. She was an educator for fifteen years, and the last two of those were in Forsyth County.

She and her husband, Scotty, have lived in Forsyth County for eleven years. A few years after having their first son, Trisha made the decision to step out of the classroom to offer more flexibility and time with her family. She then began a career in real estate. This new profession has given her the flexibility and time she wanted, but also, it gave her the opportunity to become a business partner with her son’s elementary school and serve on the LSC as both a parent and stakeholder. She continues her successful career as a realtor here in Forsyth County.

In her personal life, Trisha feels a great responsibility to always give back to others and the community. In 2018, Trisha and her husband made the decision to become a foster family with FaithBridge Foster Care. Today, they continue that journey by serving children from hard places. When not working, Trisha enjoys spending time with her family and friends, traveling, and volunteering at her family's church. She is looking forward to her role on the Board of Education and serving the families of our great county.
