After falling in love with the area, Tricia’s family settled in Highlands in 1986. Upon graduating from Highlands High School, Tricia went on to obtain her B.A. from Wake Forest University in Winston Salem. She moved to Atlanta, Georgia where she pursued a career in Information Technology working for major organizations including CSC and ING. In 2005, her role with ING allowed Tricia and her husband to relocate to New York City for three and half years where they lived in Manhattan and wholeheartedly embraced the city even giving up their cars! After giving birth to their first son, Tricia and her husband decided to move back to Atlanta to be closer to their families. Tricia finished her career with ING and shortly thereafter, Tricia and her husband moved permanently to Highlands and welcomed their second son. She pursued her real estate license and currently holds licenses in both North Carolina and Georgia. Tricia was very excited to join her mother, Judy Michaud, and her sister, Michelle Muraco, at Meadows Mountain Realty.
