Trecia Ehrlich (Tree-sha) is a writer and public servant based in the Pacific Northwest. Trecia holds a Master’s in Public Health from the University of Washington and a Bachelor of Science in Community Development from UC Davis. She currently works for her state’s Department of Agriculture regulating cannabis testing laboratories and is in a practicum program to become a certified mediator.

Her path has been anything but linear: she is a former river guide and whitewater kayaker who has run rivers in Bhutan, picked grapes in New Zealand, worked as a barista in New York, and baked donuts by the shores of Lake Tahoe. Today, she lives with her husband and two young kids, practices yoga, and has a weirdly successful track record as a matchmaker for her friends.

She is interested in the regulation of emerging industries, community, and environment. You will find her standing at the intersection of all things.
