McKinley
Administrative Assistant
Location: Lindon
McKinley, the newest member of the Trifecta team, joined as the Administrative Assistant in the beginning of 2026. Basically, that means she is the main contact for messages, invoicing, scheduling, and all other needs you might come across. McKinley began working with dogs in 2023 as a receptionist at a boarding facility, and since then her love for dogs has soared. During her time there, she handled many different temperaments and personalities, and particularly loves getting to know the shy/nervous dogs.
McKinley is most often found in the middle of nowhere with her dog, Rainier. She enjoys taking every little side trail and going wherever her heart (or her dog) desires. When she is not working or exploring, she is probably practicing her Viola for various symphonies in the valley, or hanging out with friends.
