Trina joined The Pantry in January 2023 as the organization’s first Executive Director. A graduate of Brown University, Trina started her career on Wall Street, first in mergers and acquisitions and syndicate equity at Merrill Lynch, followed by NASDAQ sales trading at Lehman Brothers, after completing her MBA from Columbia Business School.
In early 2002, Trina moved to Northern Westchester with her family and while being a stay-at-home-mom, volunteered with the Junior League of Northern Westchester, eventually serving as Treasurer, President Elect and President on the Board of Directors. She also served on the MKIFP Board for two years, before returning to work in fund development at the Greater NY Chapter of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. As a senior development director, she gained expertise in advocacy, individual and major giving, special events, sponsorships, and board recruitment and development.
In her free time, Trina likes to stay active by exercising, hiking and biking; visiting with friends; and spending time with her family and golden doodle, Hudson.
