With over two decades of experience, including seven years at the US Patent & Trademark Office and recent tenure on the Trademark Public Advisory Committee, she has become a trusted advisor to CEOs in the fashion industry. Notably, Tricia takes immense pride in being the first black General Counsel for both of these longstanding companies, each with a history spanning over 60 years.

Her expertise extends to renowned brands such as NIKE swim, PGA TOUR, Callaway Golf, Jack Nicklaus, Ben Hogan, and more.

However, at her core, Tricia is an aspiring writer—a passion that has driven her to establish her own media company. Through this venture, she introduces her newsletter, The Savage Esquire™, aiming to amplify the voices of female entrepreneurs and empower them to elevate their businesses to new heights by harnessing the potential of licensing. Wondering why it's called The Savage Esquire™? The answer lies in its purpose: empowering women who, in turn, empower other women to leverage the realm of licensing and thrive in the business world.
