Tricia started dancing when she was just three years old and despite an initial reluctance, immediately fell in love with it. She danced in a studio until seventh grade and competed on her high school’s varsity dance team all four years. She went on to attend Washington University in St. Louis where she studied dance and elementary education.
After graduating college, she started working in the classroom as a teacher. In 2009, she decided to reintroduce dance back into her life and auditioned to become a St. Louis Rams Cheerleader. Tricia made the team on her first try and is now in her seventh season, making her one of the longest tenured members of the team.
