Tricia taught at Independent school in Missoula before moving to Chelan, Wash., in the August of 1994, and began teaching in the Manson Elementary school in September of 1994 and taught until April of 2011. Tricia also taught Sunday school in both Missoula and Chelan, and taught skiing at Echo Valley.
