Meet Trish

Hello! My name is Trish and I’ve been proud to call Gainesville home for more than 50 years, and I bring a deep love for this community to my work at GEZFLC. My career began in childcare and grew into more than 20 years of social work, experiences that shaped me into a trusted liaison, support person, and advocate for families. Over the years, I’ve worn many hats at the Center, but what I enjoy most is building meaningful relationships with parents. This work is close to my heart—because I truly believe every child deserves opportunity and access to an early education that lays the foundation for discovering and growing their own greatness.
