Trisha Schmidt

I am a highly intuitive, resourceful, and self-driven investigator with a proven track record of locating individuals that others have been unable to find. From reconnecting my aunt with a long-lost friend to finding a friend’s former partner and uncovering previously unknown relatives while building my family tree, I’ve consistently demonstrated strong research instincts and creative problem-solving skills. With years of customer service experience, I bring exceptional communication, empathy, and people-reading abilities—supported by my background as a Reiki practitioner, which has strengthened my intuition and observational awareness. I work well with individuals of all ages, from children to elders, and I thrive in roles that require patience, discretion, and careful attention to detail. Though I am seeking formal training, I already possess the natural investigative mindset, determination, and interpersonal strengths that make me an ideal candidate to develop into a skilled private investigator.

I bring a diverse professional background that has strengthened my communication, attention to detail, and ability to work effectively with a wide range of people. I’ve worked in a law firm supporting administrative and client-focused tasks, served as a bank teller handling sensitive financial information with accuracy and confidentiality, and spent years as a nanny where I developed strong responsibility, patience, and observational skills. As a Level II Reiki practitioner, I’ve refined my intuition and ability to read people and emotional dynamics. I currently work as a supervisor at Starbucks, where I manage fast-paced operations, lead teams, and maintain high customer service standards. I also have experience as a CNA in a nursing home, providing hands-on care and building trust with vulnerable populations. Across all these roles, investigating has always been a natural passion of mine—something I excel at and genuinely enjoy—which is why I’m motivated to bring my skill set into a formal investigative career.

I have completed formal training as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), earning my state-recognized certification. I also completed coursework at Suffolk County Community College and Baltimore City Community College, gaining foundational education in general studies. While I did not pursue a degree, my academic experience—combined with extensive real-world, people-focused roles—has given me strong practical judgment, maturity, and problem-solving skills that enhance my ability to succeed in investigative work.

Much of my growth has come from practical experience and continued personal development outside the classroom, and I plan to expand my formal training as I move into the private investigation field.
