Originally from Reno, Nevada, Tracey’s family relocated to the Midwest. She fell in love with Milwaukee and found, at UW–Milwaukee, a university which would become her ticket to a world of communication.

She holds a masters degree in Foreign Languages and Linguistics and a bachelor degree in Adult Education and Educational Studies. She has also worked as an academic coordinator, a freelance interpreter for the deaf and a marriage preparation counselor. In her "spare time", she always wanted to start her own speaking company – so she did!

An avid reader and researcher, Tracey first learned the art of successful communication from her father, a retired police officer. "He knew how to talk to people in a way that made them want to open up," she says. "I’ve seen many former gang members approach my dad and thank him for turning their lives around."

Although the effect of Tracey’s work is not always as dramatic as her father’s, she also takes great satisfaction in improving people’s lives. Workshop participants have told her about better communication with their employees, co-workers, clients, and family. "I love to hear a client say that what they learned from me helped them," she says, describing the impact her style and enthusiasm often has on people.

The varied, customized seminars offered by United Communication Experts reflect Tracey’s positive outlook and desire to pass on her valuable knowledge in an entertaining style. Her presentations are educational and fun… and she promises to speak so that everyone gets the message!
