Trinity
Founder & CEO
Trinity’s life flipped upside down at the age of 16. She was diagnosed with POTS, MCAS, EDS and hypocalcemia leaving her doctors speechless. When her service dog came into her life, he made having a “normal” life possible. This led to Trinity falling in love with the idea of helping people through these furry companions. She became a first time service dog handler while attending college and interning for a service dog company in California & Colorado. In 2020, she founded K9 Service Companions to share her passion with every team that completes the program. Trinity’s mission is to help people gain companionship & comfort through these wonderful dogs.
