Trista has performed on Broadway, and across the United States and Canada.

Her work as an actress has earned her a Denver Ovation nomination. As a producer she received the honor WTAM Cleveland’s “Citizen of the Week” for Songs for the Cure, a one night benefit concert to raise funds for breast cancer. Her sketch comedy writing has been featured for Broadway Cares/ Equity Fights AIDS Easter Bonnet Competition at the Minskoff Theater in NYC.

She was seen as Carlotta Giudicelli in the National Tour of Cameron Mackintosh’s Spectacular New production of The Phantom of the Opera. She received rave reviews and played the role until the tour’s closing performance at the Princess of Wales Theatre in Toronto, February 3rd, 2020.

During the Covid-19 pandemic, Trista studied medical assisting, EKG, phlebotomy, and both pediatric and advanced CPR. She became a certified clinical medical assistant through City College NYC in July 2021.

She stepped back into Phantom on Broadway in January 2022 as a vacation swing and eventually earned a permanent spot in the ensemble understudying and frequently performing the role of Carlotta. She remained with the production until its closing on April 16th, 2023. Trista holds a special place in the history of Phantom being one of only three actresses to have played both Christine Daae and Carlotta on the Broadway stage.
