< Read about what Trina can do for you >
Trina Isakson lives in Vancouver with her bike and her new sofa. She enjoys variety and challenge and loves figuring out things she has never tried before.
Trina was a science and math geek with a creative flair for dance from a young age and continued this science/arts combo into university where she also added musical theatre into the mix. After university, she chose to share her love of science and math with unsuspecting teenagers as a high school teacher.
A one-year trip through New Zealand up to Vietnam had her returning with interest for the nonprofit sector, and she has since managed gala fundraising events, produced musical theatre, managed volunteers, developed university services to empower students to be engaged citizens, and continued her education through an MBA in community economic development and a Certificate in Dialogue and Civic Engagement.
She prides herself on being a generalist and having smart and passionate people in her life. Though there is no one cause she throws all of her energy behind, she supports those that do by helping them fulfill their missions.

She thinks her life is a good one, and lives it by working in and speaking about nonprofit capacity, community development, engaged citizenship and education. She also has a weakness for travel, photography, music, and musings.
Keep updated by subscribing to her entries on this website. All of them, just the good articles about nonprofit stuff, or personal stories about life as it happens.
