Currently, she is the Heritage and Culture Coordinator for Beausoleil First Nation.

For the last three years, Trish has shared her time, wisdom, and teachings with Lakehead Orillia students, faculty and staff as a visiting Elder and traditional Counsellor.   Her guidance has led to the spiritual growth of various departments resulting in improved supports and accessibility for Indigenous students and community members who visit.

 Trish has shared sacred teachings and traditional medicines with students who are looking for clarity and direction for their education, career and life path.

Through her open approach to teaching, she has also contributed to the personal and professional development of staff and faculty who attend her teachings.
