TRICIA SMITH-MULDER
My early career was in the financial services sector, and during this time, I obtained my Bachelor’s in Business Administration from Grand Valley State University and my Masters of Business Administration from Cornerstone University. However, in 2011 my career took a very different direction, and I found my true calling; working with children and adolescents.
This was when I took a director-level administrative job at the Gerald R. Ford Job Corps Center in Grand Rapids where I spent the next 7 years working with disadvantaged youth ages 16-24. It was during this time I was introduced to grant writing techniques. When I left Job Corps in early 2018, I began to look for my next career, and a chance encounter with a former colleague started this newest adventure.
