"Be The Diamond" works directly with all demographics to help those realize their self-worth and find their "YES" in life. Trizia is a firm believer in polishing yourself up so you can shine and that pressure either crushes you or makes you a diamond. She is proud of her work with adults as well as students in elementary, middle school, high school and college, to enhance their self-esteem through leadership mentoring. Trizia focuses on the "4 P's" - Passion, Perseverance, Perspiration/pain and Preparation - as well as themes of never giving up, resisting the casualization and disconnection that is so prevalent in our culture, avoiding excuses, self-responsibility, career advice, how to dress appropriately for life's adventures and how to best find one's strong suit in life. Trizia has personally donated thousands of hours and dollars' worth of clothing and shoes to young women in need while unearthing their finesse and building their confidence.

Before sitting for the Florida Bar, Trizia was a Certified Legal Intern for the Brevard County State Attorney's Office, where she tried cases to verdict for the State and polished her trial skills. While at the State Attorney's Office, Trizia was honored to work closely on the high profile "Ella" animal cruelty case, the white German Shepherd left to die in a crate in her home by her owner. Trizia drafted the in-depth Memorandum of Law in Opposition to the Motion to Suppress Evidence, citing the exigent circumstances which allowed the police to enter the owner's home without a warrant. The trial judge sided with the State and denied Ella's owner's Motion to Suppress. On appeal, the high Court agreed with the trial judge's decision, which included the Court's reliance on the Memorandum of Law and case law cited by Trizia. During her last year of law school, Trizia gained immense legal knowledge as a Judicial Law Clerk for numerous prestigious Orange County judges, including now Fifth District Court of Appeals Justice, The Honorable Jay Cohen. Mrs. Eavenson was a founding member and President of the Federalist Society, a Moot Court Competitor, and Executive Board Member and Representative of the Hispanic American Law Student Association (HALSA). She received the highest grade in her class for Trial Practice, Insurance Law and Eminent Domain. She frequently returns to her law school as a guest professor to teach trial advocacy and civility. Trizia has had the honor of spending time with Supreme Court Justices Scalia, Roberts, Alito, Ginsberg and Thomas, where she discussed landmark decisions as well as current issues facing our great Nation.

Trizia has faced, and continues to tackle, numerous health challenges that would normally prevent one from achieving their goals. This adversity simply fortifies Trizia's resolve, strengthens her compassion, and intensifies her passion for serving others. This passionate fashionista is determined to effectuate positive change. The children she mentors are close to her heart and are part of this beautiful country's tapestry. Trizia's Clients become members of her "tribe". She truly does believe that you never need to unscrew another's lightbulb to make yourself shine brighter. Passion in law and for life, personal connections and perseverance are truly the tenants by which Trizia lives.
