Meet Trish

Trish Jagger is a story facilitator, educator, and researcher who deeply believes in the power of storytelling to spark connection, reflection, and transformation. Her unique background weaves together professional experience in film production, teaching, and educational research. Combined, this has led to a passion for working with others to develop capacity in media literacy, digital storytelling, and creating inclusive learning spaces. Trish brings over two decades of experience in education to her work with schools, educators, and communities.

Whether leading workshops, designing curriculum, or collaborating with organizations to build inclusive media frameworks, Trish approaches each project with warmth, creativity, and a commitment to voice and equity. Her work invites participants to explore the stories that shape them — and to imagine new ones that can build bridges of connection.

When she's not facilitating or writing, you’ll likely find her walking by the river with her two pups, dreaming up workshop ideas over coffee, or playing on a film set.

“Stories have the power to evoke both the horrors of the world and encourage imaginative spaces of possibility through the portrayal of human connection, struggle, and care. If my work can provide anything to those who read it, or to those whom I am gifted with the task of teaching in the future, may it be that all I have learned can foster equal space for imagination, acts of resistance, and critical hope for a better, more equitable world to come.”
