Born in Brisbane, Trindall made her first and only Australian squad, along with teammate Suzanne Balogh in the women's double trap at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens. She achieved a minimum qualifying score of 102 to fill out one of the Olympic places awarded to the Aussie team at the 2003 ISSF World Cup meet in Granada, Spain.[3][4][5] Trindall shot 107 hits out of 120 to force a seventh-place tie with Chinese Taipei's Lin Yi-chun in the qualifying round, narrowly missing out the final by just a single _target.[6]
