Trish’s understanding of the power of communication began, first, as a classroom teacher and later as a thought leader in American education.

In 2003, she launched her own training company, The EdVentures Group, which specialized in teaching business professionals and education leaders. She traveled across America, and to Europe and Asia, giving seminars and presentations at universities, businesses and organizations, including the United Nations.
