Tricia Nissen

Tricia is an expert at quickly identifying relevant information and tailoring clients’ messages to appeal to diverse audiences. Through news releases, fact kits, presentations and more, she finds clear ways to describe complex subjects, turns basic information into compelling stories, and is a skilled researcher who adds historical and statistical context to our clients’ arguments.

For more than a decade, she has helped the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe share its culture, economic news, and unique place in United States history and current events. Tricia has also worked with Saint Mary’s University’s Minneapolis campus to increase awareness of the university’s strong Twin Cities presence and identify the best opportunities to place stories in the media.  When Saint Mary’s purchased a historic mansion to help expand its offerings in Minneapolis, she provided media relations coordination and extensive historical research.

She has written website copy for manufacturers and real estate developers, speeches for high-ranking government officials, and the past decade of annual reports for the Saint Paul Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA).

Before joining Goff Public in 1999, Tricia managed communications efforts for the largest county historical society in North Dakota. She has bachelor’s degrees in English and history from Valley City State University (Valley City, ND) and a master’s degree in Great Plains history from North Dakota State University (Fargo, ND). While in graduate school, she conducted research, surveying and writing for the historic architectural survey of Bowman County, ND, which resulted in an article published in Heritage of the Great Plains and North Dakota History. She also conducted research and writing for manuscript and photo collections at North Dakota State University Archives and the North Dakota Institute for Regional Studies.

Raised on a cattle and small grains farm near Kathryn, ND, Tricia enjoys helping her family on the farm whenever she can. She and her husband Chad, an avid walleye fisherman, also love beach vacations and movies/documentaries about World War II and the Civil War.
