Background

About Trisha Thompson

My journey began as a hotline crisis counselor, grounding me in empathy, active listening, and the importance of supporting people through their most vulnerable moments. Since then, I’ve worked in refugee support, international education, and nonprofit, deepening my commitment to inclusive, human-centered work. Living and teaching across different countries sharpened my understanding of how culture, identity, and lived experience shape how people grow, connect, and navigate the world. As a first-generation college graduate with a background in sociology and a strategic mindset, I bring both curiosity and structure to my work. I thrive in independent environments that also welcome thoughtful collaboration. I enjoy helping people embrace complexity and find their way forward with intention. I'm always open to connecting with others committed to equity, cultural understanding, and building systems that serve those most affected by oppression.
