about TRISSA (PRONOUNS: SHE/HER)
Trissa works behind the scenes to keep all our ducks in a row. She is responsible for the administrative side of the agency and, most importantly, grant writing. She also has a strange fondness for writing policy & procedure and creating spreadsheets and checklists. Trissa knows that a well-organized agency allows direct service staff to focus on their mission and believes nothing is impossible with a good filing system and label maker. Her creative thinking challenges assumptions about what is possible. Trissa takes pride in her role as a co-founder of our amazing agency. A lifelong volunteer, Trissa has served as a VISTA (domestic peace corp) in Seattle and Portland.
When not engaged with saving the world, Trissa likes to escape to the Middle Fork or hang out around the campfire with friends and family. If the weather isn’t great, she likes to play board games and research her family history. Trissa holds a BA in Geography from the University of Washington.
We believe in creating spaces where everyone—regardless of their background, identity, or experience—feels safe, valued and supported. We acknowledge that our fight for equality and human rights is ongoing, and we know that together we can challenge systems of oppression and build a better world for all.
We are stronger together.
Through our differences, we find our shared humanity.
