Trina Rice embodies the P.A.C.E. Plan—Primary, Alternate, Contingency, and Emergency. Once aspiring to become a Wall Street financial powerhouse, she instead built an impressive 30-year military career, rising from Private (PV2) to Colonel (O6).
A native of New York City, Trina is now a serial entrepreneur in Northern Virginia, where she operates a top-tier staffing franchise that leverages her decades of HR expertise to connect exceptional talent with businesses seeking precise recruitment solutions. She also owns a retreat and event center in Huntsville, Alabama, dedicated to delivering first-class experiences for both corporate professionals and everyday guests.
Beyond HR, Trina is a historic trailblazer who played a key role in the policy changes and integration efforts that enabled women to earn positions in Infantry and Armor units, in addition to Rangers and Special Forces. Equally passionate about financial literacy, she is the author of "The Wealth of Wellness: The Untold Connection Between Money, Peace, and Power", which shares parts of her early journey toward building a seven-figure retirement and real estate portfolio.
