She also taught in the Sanford Brown College Veterinary Technology program, where she enjoyed helping educate future veterinary industry professionals. Traci later worked for a small animal dental specialty practice, which gave her the opportunity to organize continuing education events for veterinarians in Portland and Southwestern Washington.
