Trish Stefanko comes to On the Trail with experience as an RN, MT, environmental educator, and farmer.  She has loved animals her whole life, and is happiest when with them.  Trish puts high value on being healthy and active.  She is a reasonable, reliable, responsible person.  Trish currently lives in New Hamphire, but we are always looking for an excuse to get her to Cape Ann.  Trish prefers shorter stays (week or less), as she has gardens to tend and people to care for.  Trish is a delightful addition to our team and an asset to our community.
