Professionally, Tracy combines corporate communications experience with a background in politics and public policy. Her career has taken her from the halls of the U.S. Congress to the boardrooms of Corporate America.

As the former vice president of communications for a global retail grocer, Tracy oversaw strategies for public relations, crisis communications, and community engagement. She managed a charitable foundation committed to the fight against hunger and improving the quality of life for children. Before returning to her roots in Pennsylvania, Tracy worked on national issues in the Office of National Drug Control Policy and U.S. House of Representatives, Washington, D.C.

Tracy is an adventure traveler, preferring destinations out of the mainstream and activities that make your heart thump. She has published travel articles on these adventures and written two books about walking across Spain on El Camino de Santiago and trekking the Annapurna Circuit in Nepal. Tracy’s first children’s book, Life on Stony Run, tells a sweet story about friendship, honesty, compassion, and goodness learned from two- and four-legged friends alike.

Infused throughout all three books and her speaking engagements, Tracy emphasizes the importance of adventure, building community, being curious about the world, and believing in yourself. These messages have helped many other women step onto a path authentically their own.

Tracy speaks to groups about her pilgrimage on El Camino in addition to travel and trekking, leadership, and the challenges faced by professional women.
