Trina joined the Board in 2022 and is the Assistant Vice President for University Budget and Planning at the University of Idaho where she has worked for nearly 20 years. She has a handicapped brother whose needs exceeded what her parents were able to provide at home so as a result has lived in state homes for the majority of his life. While his needs and experiences differ significantly from those served by the Northwest Children’s Home, she believes this background helps her better appreciate the role the home plays in helping children facing a multitude of challenges to thrive. She hopes to use this along with her background in budget management for a non-profit organization to help the Northwest Children’s Home move towards mission fulfillment.
