She is overjoyed to serve as team 79’s PR representative and hopes to continue building connections with others. As she continues her journey to support Ohio DECA, she is inspired by people who feel enthusiastic about their job, their life, and their futures, and who convey their enthusiasm and good energy to others. By someone who is capable of pointing out possibilities that she had not considered, that she thought were impossible, or that she never even dreamed of. This year, she hopes to pass on this mindset and inspire others to strive joyfully to accomplish their goals and stay determined to accomplish what they set out to do. Aside from DECA, Trisha is a member of the cross country team at her high school and has been running since her freshman year.
