Trisha McKinney
Owner
With more than 20 years of experience at Express Employment Professionals, Trisha McKinney has grown from a front-line staffing specialist to the proud owner of the Costa Mesa franchise. Throughout her career, she has developed a deep passion for helping people and businesses thrive, believing that the most meaningful success is the kind that’s shared.
Before becoming a franchise owner, Trisha served as a Franchise Developer Representative, partnering with entrepreneurs across Southern California to open new offices, build strong teams, and grow people-first businesses. Her leadership and coaching in recruitment strategy, operational excellence, and business development helped the region achieve the #1 national ranking multiple times.
Today, Trisha leads with balance and intention, sometimes from the front to set the standard, and other times from the back to let her team shine. She’s dedicated to serving the Orange County community, developing local talent, and bringing everything she’s learned into building something of her own. Her approach blends strategy with action and heart with results, rooted in the belief that when people are empowered to grow, everyone moves forward together.
Local business owners turn to Express Costa Mesa, under Trisha’s leadership, to strengthen their teams, improve retention, and find tailored workforce solutions that create long-term success.
