She writes frequently and speaks nationally on healthcare topics.
Trish is a Chicago–area native and lifelong Cubs fan whose first aspiration was to become a Chicago Cub. When the inherent improbability of that dream became apparent, she determined she would become the Cubs' team physician. After struggling with college biochemistry and realizing that she had inherited her journalist parents' writing skills, she decided to attend law school instead. She relocated to Raleigh in 1995, in part to escape Chicago winters.
When not practicing law, Trish enjoys jogging, gardening, crosswords, traveling, attending and watching baseball games, reading, learning about and tasting wine, and spending time with her husband and their two rabbits.
