Her Interview
Ten minutes with Trisha
01What do you attribute your success to?
I attribute my success to persistence, faith, education, and the influence of people who believed in me before I fully believed in myself. My journey has shown me that resilience is forged in the hardest seasons and that refusing to give up is often what moves a life forward. After six years in the U.S. Army as a Logistics Specialist, I faced personal challenges, including addiction, but I rebuilt my life and now have over seven years of continuous clean time. Today, I maintain a full‑time career leading a team of public servants while completing my bachelor’s degree. My success comes from choosing growth, staying grounded in faith, continuing to learn, and surrounding myself with people who push me to become the strongest version of myself.
02What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
Nothing is impossible when you rely on faith, discipline, and effort to rise to any challenge. The best career advice I ever received was to invest in myself, lead with integrity, stay committed to learning, and find purpose.
03What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
Never. Give. Up.
