On a Personal Note
Tricia’s passions outside of work include spending time with her almost 16-year-old daughter and 13-year-old son, participating in sports activities, and joining the parent association for their smaller, private school. Other passions include long walks with their dog, Bella, and family annual beach trips. Tricia’s most recent personal fun adventure was to tour Ireland with her 86 year-old father! Two of her cherished quotes are “An investment in knowledge pays the best interest” (Benjamin Franklin) and “There is no education in the second kick of a mule.” (unknown)
