Tracy is a journalist who spent nearly two decades in various markets covering everything from the raucous Iowa caucuses to hurricanes slamming the Grand Strand. She ran newsrooms, managing reporters over several different newscasts each day, and taught young journalists who went on to lucrative careers. She took a leap from news into the realm of public relations, and she has worked for United Way, an advertising agency and, presently, Santee Cooper as a Public Relations Specialist. Tracy spends her non-working time with her two children, Oliver and Vienna, often enjoying the outdoors.
