Hi, I'm Tria

Meet Your Wingman

I grew up in Lyle, Washington, and today I live a full, fast-paced life right here in the Gorge. Outside of being a mom, I work a demanding day job, love to travel, and am known to do crazy things like convincing friends to build a house in Costa Rica. I’m also navigating the modern dating scene just like everyone else (helloooo, long distance relationship!).
 

At my core, I have always been a natural connector, problem-solver, and an organizer of people. In my personal life, that looks like being the "Hey, we should get together" friend, the craft-night-organizer "auntie" for my best friends' kids, and being involved in nonprofit work. My professional world revolves around orchestrating large-scale, global programs where alignment, trust, and deep collaboration are essential. My work is focused on understanding humans and knowing that psychological safety and strong communication are the keys to success. Armed with these professional skills and a Master’s degree in Organizational Leadership, I love taking the exact same elements that help complex teams thrive and applying them to the human side of connection.
 

I know so many amazing singles in the Gorge. They aren't on the apps because of the horror stories, they don't hang out at the bars, and they are out there living amazing, full lives—but finding it incredibly hard to meet quality people in a small region where everyone already knows everyone.
 

And that’s how Columbia Gorge Cupid was born.
 

Our intake questionnaire is intentionally rooted in relational psychology and long-term compatibility studies—but let’s be entirely clear: I am not an expert. I am not a licensed dating coach or a relationship therapist, and I don't claim to be.
 

Think of me simply as your local wingman.
​

Columbia Gorge Cupid is a completely free service because bringing people together genuinely feeds my soul. It is also 100% confidential—you choose the exact level of anonymity you desire, and your information is never made public.
 

If you make a lifelong love connection through this registry, I will be absolutely stoked. But at the end of the day, it’s also a beautiful thing to meet new people who naturally align with your lifestyle.
 

You’ve built a beautiful life out here. Now, let’s find someone to share the view.
 

XO,

Tria
