RECOMMENDATIONS

  • Given an opportunity, I would hire Trina again at any company without a second thought. She is reliable, hardworking, extremely organized, and intellectually curious. I never worried about her ability to deliver high-quality work on time. She has an exceptional talent for analyzing data and crafting a story that makes it simple for her stakeholders to understand and action. Every dashboard, slide deck, and dataset she touched was left more beautiful than when she found it. Trina's curiosity extends to her interactions with people. It's apparent she cares deeply about her colleagues. She stepped up as the co-lead for our Parents employee resource group and planned events that gave parents the opportunity to connect and support one another. I was impressed at her ability to juggle the demands of leading that group while continuing to push her projects forward. And even more impressively, she was able to do all of this while raising a toddler! I could go on and on about Trina's incredible qualities, but the bottom line is: any company would be lucky to have her.

  • I had the pleasure of working closely with Trina Thayer at Best Buy Health within the Customer Delivery Program Office, and I can confidently say she is one of the most driven and capable professionals I’ve worked with. From the moment she joined, Trina hit the ground running. She quickly got up to speed on complex programs and started making a meaningful impact from day one. Trina brings a rare blend of strategic thinking and executional excellence. She’s highly skilled in data analytics, program management, stakeholder relationship management, and executive communication. Her ability to create detailed, insightful dashboards and maintain impeccable organization helped large cross-functional internal and external teams stay aligned and focused on delivering outcomes. She’s not only a strong operator but also a collaborative and thoughtful partner. I’d recommend Trina without hesitation - she would be a remarkable asset to any organization lucky enough to have her on their team.

  • I had the pleasure of working with Trina for two years in analytics roles at Best Buy. Any time we had a challenging project, or an unwieldy product that needed to get to the finish line, Trina was the one who could do her. She has an exceptional blend of analytics and communications skills that allow her to excel in any work environment and any team.

  • Trina is a one-of-a-kind coworker, collaborator, and friend. She's the kind of teammate who never sees their job as just the bullet points on the job description, but truly embraces cross-functional partnership and her own passion in order to achieve shared goals. Adding this quality to her acumen in data analytics and visualization and she becomes truly invaluable. Trina is a teammate who demonstrates true humility and a desire to help her teammates grow - a quality she demonstrated in never hesitating to jump on a Zoom with me to help build my own data-related skills. Trina and I partnered closely on surveying candidates about their interview experience. While Trina could easily just share the results with us and let the operations function run with it, she took great care to be involved with devising solutions to improve our interview process. She goes above and beyond to care for people, both internal and external, in a way that supports their diverse skill sets and identities. She's never afraid to speak up or ask questions and when she does, they genuinely always add value to the conversation. If you're lucky enough to have the opportunity to welcome Trina onto your team, know you'll be adding someone with equal parts compassion and hard skills to your workplace.
