For over a decade, Sasha Burns has been an integral part of the Trinity Episcopal School family—first as a parent for five years and then as a dedicated team member for the past seven years. Her journey in education began when she started substitute teaching, where she fell in love with witnessing those “lightbulb moments” as students grasped new concepts. That passion led her to pursue her teaching certification, and she quickly found joy in shaping young minds. After a few years in the classroom, an opportunity arose for the role of Business Manager, and Sasha knew it was the perfect fit—allowing her to continue supporting students, teachers, and families in a different but equally impactful way.
As Business Manager, Sasha plays a critical role in keeping the school running smoothly. She takes great pride in the efficiency improvements she has helped implement over the years, from digitizing the timekeeping system for payroll to streamlining applications and student contracts. These advancements have not only modernized the school’s operations but have also made processes more convenient and effective for both staff and families.
Beyond the numbers and logistics, Sasha finds joy in the daily interactions she has with students. Hearing their stories, seeing their excitement, and being part of their school experience is what makes her work meaningful. The friendships she has built within the administrative team are another aspect of her role that she deeply values, reinforcing the close-knit community that makes Trinity Episcopal School so special.
Among the many cherished traditions at TES, the K3-K4 Nativity holds a special place in Sasha’s heart. Watching the youngest students enthusiastically share the story of Jesus’ birth is a moment she looks forward to every year. It’s these heartfelt experiences that remind her why she was drawn to the school in the first place. As a former TES parent, she experienced firsthand the strong sense of community and support that defines the school, which made her decision to apply for a position an easy one.
Outside of work, Sasha enjoys spending time with friends and unwinding through country western dancing most Sundays at Sweet Home. She believes in the power of involvement and encourages new members of the TES community to ask questions, volunteer, and actively engage with others. In her eyes, being part of TES is more than just an affiliation—it’s a family.
One of Sasha’s favorite quotes, from Winston Churchill, perfectly captures her approach to both work and life: “Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.” Her resilience, dedication, and commitment to TES have made a lasting impact, and her contributions continue to strengthen the school every day.
When asked to describe Trinity Episcopal School in three words, Sasha’s response is simple but profound: TES is family. Through her hard work, leadership, and unwavering support, she ensures that this family thrives—both today and for years to come.

If you’ve ever walked the halls of Trinity Episcopal School and felt the warmth, excitement, and sense of family in the air, there’s a good chance you’ve crossed paths with Kailey Leske, our dedicated Enrollment Director. Kailey has been part of the Trinity family for seven years as a parent and four years as a member of the administrative team. Her background is rich with experience in curriculum development and college instruction, and she believes these roles have prepared her for the dynamic, multifaceted nature of her current work. “I believe we are our best selves when we continue to pursue education as life-long learners,” Kailey says. “My inspiration to be in the world of education is knowing that we are impacting future generations.”
As Enrollment Director, Kailey thrives on connection and storytelling. “I truly believe I have the best role on campus,” she beams. “I love meeting new families, touring them through classrooms, and highlighting what makes Trinity so special. Spring admissions season is my favorite—it’s full of energy and excitement with events, tours, and opportunities to welcome future Patriots. And there’s nothing better than seeing the joy on a student’s face when I bring a new friend to visit their classroom!”
One of Kailey’s most proud contributions is introducing and championing Organized Mass Chaos (OMC), an end-of-year tradition that has quickly become a schoolwide favorite. “When I first introduced the idea, I could see some hesitation. I mean, the name itself goes against everything structured and orderly,” she laughs. “But it has grown into a celebration of joy and togetherness that sends our students off into summer with laughter and memories. Watching my own children experience OMC has made it even more meaningful.”
Kailey’s impact isn’t limited to new families. She’s quick to point out that enrollment isn’t just about growth—it’s about connection. “Enrollment drives everything, but it’s just as important to make sure our current families feel supported and seen. My goal is to help Trinity remain not only a top educational choice in the crossroads area but also a home where people feel they belong.”
Outside of school, Kailey enjoys reading, spending time at the lake, and traveling with her family. Her love of adventure comes naturally—she grew up as a rodeo kid, traveling the PRCA circuit across the U.S. and western Canada with her family while her dad competed in calf roping. “It was the most amazing childhood I could have imagined,” she says. “Those experiences gave me a deep appreciation for travel and exploring new places with my own kids.”
When asked what inspires her most about working in this school community, she doesn’t hesitate: “Watching our students grow. Seeing the lightbulb moments, the friendships forming, and the joy of discovery—it’s incredibly fulfilling.” This year, she’s especially excited to watch the school’s MAP Growth data unfold, providing insight into the progress and development of each student.
Kailey describes Trinity in three words: intentional, joyful, and inspiring. Her advice to new families is simple but powerful: “Get involved. Show up to birthday parties, school events, chapel. The more you plug in, the more you’ll discover what makes Trinity so special.”
And if there’s one quote that drives her? It’s this: “Good is the enemy of great.” She explains, “It’s easy to fall into routines or feel comfortable with how things are. But I’m always asking—how can we make this better? How can we improve? Whether it’s a tour, an event, or the way we welcome new families, I want everything to reflect the heart of who we are.”
In her role, Kailey Leske helps build the bridge between Trinity and the families who make our school thrive. Through her passion, creativity, and commitment to excellence, she’s not only helping to grow our enrollment—she’s helping to grow our community, one Patriot at a time!

Alli Brinkman is a graduate of UHV with a Bachelor of Science in Communications. Alli and her husband, Austin, are proud parents of their three children Blaine, Tripp, and Collins who are students here at Trinity. She has been a part of the Trinity family for decades as she is a Trinity alumnus and church member, who came back as a parent, volunteer, and substitute, and is now here as our Development Director.
During her time off, she owns a photography business that has allowed her to be a stay-at-home mom before deciding to join us full-time. Aside from that, she loves spending her time chasing the kids around to extracurricular activities and enjoys quality time with her family and friends.

At Trinity Episcopal School, our staff is more than just educators—they are mentors, caretakers, and role models who shape the lives of our students in meaningful ways. Mrs. Finch, our school nurse and chapel coordinator, embodies this spirit of dedication and love. With 15 years of nursing experience and one year coordinating chapel, she has quickly become an invaluable part of the Trinity family. Her ties to Trinity extend beyond her role—she is also a proud Trinity mom, with all three of her children attending the school.
One of her most unforgettable moments at Trinity came during her first Organized Mass Chaos (OMC) day. Spending her May birthday covered in shaving cream and color bomb, surrounded by students, teachers, and administrators equally excited to participate, left a lasting impression. "The laughter, the camaraderie, the teamwork—it was just infectious. I didn’t want it to end."
Of all the cherished traditions at Trinity, chapel buddies hold a special place in her heart. Watching older students mentor their younger counterparts, teaching them the same hand motions to songs they once learned at that age, is a beautiful full-circle moment. "Seeing them embrace, communicate, and mentor one another builds lifelong friendships. Those friendships make moving from grade to grade more seamless and less scary. You know you’ll always have a friend to call on—what other school does that?" As she continues her journey at Trinity, she looks forward to welcoming new students each year and witnessing their excitement as they experience chapel and Trinity’s strong sense of community for the first time.
Although she does not consider herself a traditional educator, her journey to ministry and service was shaped by the guidance of her former pastor and his wife. When she doubted her ability to serve in a faith-based role, their wisdom helped her see that imperfections don’t disqualify anyone from being used for a greater purpose. "I just don’t feel holy enough to take on a role in ministry," I once told my pastor. His response? "I’m sorry, have you ever read The Bible? Do you know who Jesus surrounded Himself with?" And just like that, I was back in. I could still be used to love people despite my imperfections."
For her, being a Patriot is about more than just school spirit—it’s about resilience, teamwork, and lifting one another up. "Being a Patriot means you are part of a team. You work hard and encourage those around you to do the same. It requires resilience, knowing that in your weak moments, others will lift you up. It means that to whom much is given, much is expected. Being a Patriot means we stick together, we don’t give up, and at the end of the day, we are better together than we are individually."
Outside of school, she finds joy in spending time at the beach, fishing, and watching the sunset. She also loves cheering on her daughters at their cheer competitions and curling up for family movie nights.
Reflecting on her time at Trinity, she feels honored to be part of such a nurturing environment. "It is the privilege of my life to spend time learning alongside these students. Their eagerness, their excitement, and their ability to purely love is what keeps me wanting to do better. I wouldn’t want to experience this growth anywhere else. Go Patriots!"
Mrs. Finch’s heart for healing, faith, and community is a true gift to Trinity. Whether caring for students in the nurse’s office, leading them in worship, or cheering them on in their daily successes, she embodies what it means to be a Patriot.

This year, we are excited to shine a spotlight on one of Trinity's dedicated educators—a dyslexia and reading specialist who has been making a difference in the lives of students for over 21 years. As a proud alumna of Trinity, she and her husband both have deep roots within the school community, making her return as an educator all the more meaningful.
Her passion lies in helping children improve their reading skills, a process she describes as transformative. “Witnessing their growth inspires me,” she shares with a smile. Whether it’s guiding a student to decode a tricky word or helping them find joy in books, she celebrates every victory alongside her students.
Her favorite school traditions are the ones that allow her to connect with students outside the classroom, such as attending chapel and participating in outdoor education. She loves how chapel provides a moment of spiritual reflection and unity, while outdoor education offers a chance for students to grow and bond in nature.
When asked what being a Patriot means to her, she emphasizes teamwork and commitment. “It’s about working together to support each other and staying dedicated to the calling of being an educator,” she explains.
Outside of her time at school, she has a love for the outdoors, especially riding horses. Whether she’s on a trail ride or enjoying the serenity of nature, her passion for the outdoors reflects her adventurous and nurturing spirit.
Her work as a dyslexia and reading specialist is a vital part of our Trinity community, and her dedication helps students unlock their potential and gain the confidence to succeed. We are so grateful for her leadership, expertise, and love for education!
