Trina joined the Actsafe team in April of 2022 in her “dream job” as CEO of an industry Health & Safety Association. Trina brings a unique combination of business, regulatory, and not-for-profit management knowledge to Actsafe and is a self-proclaimed “governance nerd.”

Before joining Actsafe, Trina served as Manager, Occupational Health & Safety Consultation & Education Services at WorkSafeBC, Manager, Health & Safety Association (HSA) & COR Certifying Partner Program at go2HR, the HSA for the tourism and hospitality industry and Manager, Member Programs at the BC Chartered Professionals of Human Resources Association. Trina has also worked in non-profit management consulting, and compensation & benefits consulting. Trina holds a Bachelor of Arts from the University of British Columbia, an Associate Certificate in Non-Profit Management from the BC Institute of Technology and is a Certified Workplace Psychological Health & Safety Advisor. Trina has had a long-standing commitment to the not-for-profit industry, particularly associations, and has served in a volunteer capacity on various Boards of Directors, committees, and working groups for the past 20 years.   

Growing up, Trina was no stranger to the stage. As a trained dancer, she performed in community theatres and movie sets and even toured with the Canadian singer Charlotte Diamond. Since then, her love for the arts and entertainment industry has only grown; it is a passion she shares with her family as she enjoys concerts, comedy shows, movies and, of course, their favourite streaming services. 

Outside of work, Trina is referred to as the “Mother of Dragons” as she has three young sons who are wild and wonderful. She is passionate about psychology and enjoys learning about neuroscience, and anything wellness-related, including practicing mindfulness and meditation. She is happiest when travelling the globe with her family, skiing Whistler during the winter, having lots of social connection time with her friends, and has been attempting to learn to play tennis for several years (without much luck).   

As Actsafe’s CEO, she is committed to prioritizing transparency, collaboration, and efficiency to enable us to work together as true partners to tackle the changing landscape before us. She is passionate about Actsafe’s mission and proud to work alongside team members she respects and values. She is committed to realizing our plans, delivering high-quality initiatives, and sharing the successes we achieve together for this organization, our team, and our industry. By enhancing knowledge, improving attitudes and beliefs, and ultimately shifting behaviours, Trina knows we can make a meaningful and measurable difference to those involved in the arts and entertainment industry. She looks forward to leading our organization into our next act.
