Trish has also been a contracted Doping Control Officer for the United States
Anti-Doping Agency®, who provide in and out-of competition drug testing of Olympic, World and National Team members of
Olympic sports.
But of all of her accomplishments Trish is most proud of having not only touched the
lives of many young athletes and medical professionals, but making even a small difference in their lives, and having an opportunity
to see them shine brighter than they ever imagined. Trish spends much of her own income to finance her trips to volunteer
worldwide at many different sporting events just so the athletes can have the best opportunity to show off their talent
and step up on that podium.
