Trinea is a survivor and advocate for victims of sexual abuse and for all of those who are impacted as a result. As a former gymnast from Lansing, Michigan and a survivor of the disgraced doctor Larry Nassar, Trinea’s victim impact statement went global just hours after she spoke. Her statement was aired on BBC, Al Jazeera, and ABC’s World News Tonight. In exploring options for survivors, she recognized that there were minimal resources available. In her search she was introduced to Kimberly Hurst, Founder and Executive Director of Avalon Healing Center. Thanks to Kimberly and Avalon Healing Center, Trinea has now found her passion and calling in raising awareness of the resources available to those suffering from abuse, and in preventing any further trauma to those impacted by sexual violence as their Director of Development. She is focused on making people aware of these services before assault or trauma occurs, and in elevating Avalon Healing Center’s business model both nationally and globally.
