HIRE DATE - NOVEMBER 29, 2016
If you ever wonder where Trish gets her big personality, just ask to meet her mom, Chris. It’s like hanging out with a blond Trish, which is
to say it is a total blast.
Once she settles in at the Firm, the next thing on Trish Hill’s
to-do list is to schedule a gorilla-trekking trip to the Virunga
Mountains in Rwanda. “If my 65-year-old mother can do it, I
can do it,” she says. And that’s that.
The Virunga Mountains are a long haul from Centerville,
the Dayton suburb where Trish grew up. Before she was
a kindergartner, she could read “Little House on the
Prairie.” She says she had the kind of parents who challenged
her; they weren’t big on participation trophies. Trish will
28
also tell you her parents taught her the value of being well
rounded.
Her father, Allen, was an engineer/businessman who began
his career as a co-op student at Dayton Power & Light and, by
the time he retired, was running the utility company. Trish’s
mother, Chris, was an English major and, as of this writing,
had completed her 35th trip to Kenya, where she supports
a Marianist elementary school called Our Lady of Nazareth.
