Trina is a collaborative leader and strategic director in avian conservation who is called to address the root causes of today’s environmental challenges. She works with collaborators across the state and flyway to advance bird conservation in a way that is scientifically relevant, inclusive of diverse constituencies, and mindful of how future generations may connect with and be inspired by birds. In addition to her formative experiences exploring Puget Sound tide-pools and Cascade mountain meadows, Trina’s path to Audubon includes field studies of plants and animals across the West Coast and Northeast, including her doctoral research on the behavioral ecology of Saltmarsh Sparrows. Today, Trina protects birds and the places they need through insightful leadership, deep partner engagement, avian science, and policy and advocacy.
