With two kids under 7, Trish is a dedicated “nature mom” and frequently uses the outdoors as a learning playground for her boys. She’s dedicated to educating others, has presented “Nature Yoga” and “Hiking and the Brain” at the KTA Hiking and Outdoors Weekend in October 2024, and  regularly volunteers as a KTA rep at various community events.
