Hi Simrin ,

You can write method inside  trigger .Basically if you  write private static method inside trigger will be good as we can not call the  trigger method from out side  the trigger .

You can test below example :
  
trigger AccountTrigger on Account(before Insert ){

  
   private static string getCurrentUserProfileName(){
        return [SELECT Name FROM Profile where id = :Userinfo.getProfileId()].Name;
    }
}

You can use thid method to check the profile name .

Let me know if it helps .

Thanks 
Manoj

If you want to re-use function in trigger and other classes as well then please create one Trigger , Ond Handler class and one Trigger Action class
Please see below code for example :-
