Trisha Profile Photo

Trisha

Host

Trisha is based in the area of Toronto, Ontario. The love of vehicles started at a young age for her. A fond memory is driving on her father's lap of the age of 6 then getting her dream vehicle, which was an electric red kids's Jeep right after. Fast forward, she currently drives a 2018 Red Wrangler JL.

One thing that Trisha admires about the Jeep and off road community is the relationships and friendships you build along the way. She's learned so much about offroad vehicles; maintenance, recovery and guiding from wheeling her Jeep over the last 6 years.
Trisha wheels her Jeeps as much as she can with her all girl crew, trail leading as a guide at ladies only events or wheeling with her local off road group. Trisha also has a special place in her heart with the love of fast vehicles and she rides a 2021 125cc dirt bike.
When she's not behind a vehicle, she's on the front lines as a Registered Nurse at a local hospital in Ontario, spending time with family and friends, and has travelled to 15 countries and counting!
