Christa Burgess has been on the Trinity Athletics staff since 2021, as Athletics Coordinator and most recently as our Assistant Athletic Director. She was promoted to Athletic Director on February 1, 2023.  She is also a proud Trinity graduate, having earned her Bachelor’s Degree in Exercise Science.  While at Trinity she was a tri-sport athlete in soccer, basketball and lacrosse.  After graduating she continued to pursue her love for sports and fitness, working as rehab technician and as a personal trainer before starting her own business.  Christa later worked with a nonprofit organization focused on helping kids to stay active and build valuable life skills through play. This led her to return to school to earn a Master’s Degree in Elementary Education, which she put to use as a Health and Physical Education teacher and Athletic Director with DC Public Schools.  When Christa returned to Trinity, she quickly put all these experiences together to focus on supporting and engaging our Student-Athletes.

Christa is a member of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated, which is a community conscious, action oriented organization founded on the principles of scholarship, service, sisterhood and finer womanhood. In 2021 Christa became a Professional Women’s Wellness Body Builder, she traveled around the world to compete and during her first competition she took home third place. Christa joins us bringing back the Trinity spirit, empowering women athletes and striving for excellence in our program.

Christa has made significant contributions to the Trinity Athletic program, including strength and conditioning with our Athletes.  As Christa steps into the role of Athletic Director, she will continue to focus on Athlete development, and will take on coaching our newest sport, Lacrosse!
