Trish had always wanted to be an early childhood teacher and after graduating from JMU, she did just that. After a decade in the classroom, she wanted to explore other educational opportunities and her journey began. She was a corporate software trainer, director of learning and development at a financial institution, an instructional technologist, and for the last 7 years an online course designer. This year, she is also teaching online Economics and Personal Finance at the secondary level which is very rewarding. The one constant is that she loves helping others learn.
