Tricia, along with her husband and two sons, has been a member of Westminster Presbyterian Church for 25 years.  After 10 years in marketing and event planning with a Chicago corporation, as a stay at home mom, Tricia began volunteering within the church's children and youth ministry and quickly led events such as Vacation Bible School and Sunday School coordination.  In addition to serving the children of Westminster, Tricia has been active in the Munster schools as a PTO president, a community leader on the three school referendum teams and president of the Munster Education Foundation.  She accepted the position of Preschool Director for the church’s weekday preschool program in 2013 where she advocates for parent involvement, multi-intelligence teaching and partnership between the home and school to meet the collective and individual needs of students. She was thrilled to formally add overseeing the church's Children & Youth Ministry programming to her staff responsibilities in 2022 as she is passionate about our children developing their own faith. In 2026, due to the growth of both ministries, a second position was created to support the youth and Tricia retained responsibility for our nursery through fifth grade students.
