Born in Indianapolis, Indiana while her father was in dental school and her mother taught in the Indianapolis Public Schools and raised in Tennessee where he set up his practice, Tracey has always had a love for the arts, books and all things creative. She attended and graduated from Purdue University with a major in Organizational Leadership, but always had a role in theatrical productions during her time there to explore her passion for the creative arts.
Tracey accepted a position with Mobil Oil/ExxonMobil Corporation working in various cities and positions from competitive takeovers and acquisitions to fuels marketing. Four months after settling in Los Angeles, she was sitting in a marketing meeting and heard about a new campaign and new commercials at Mobil Oil. She auditioned and landed her first national commercial as the principal talent! That opportunity yielded two national commercial spots, a radio spot and her SAG card. She has continued to book commercials, network television roles, industrials, independent films, web series, plays and voiceovers.
Tracey was chosen to be mentored by Producer/Writer Marshall Herskovitz (Jack Reacher: Never Go Back, The Last Samurai, Blood Diamond) from hundreds of entrants for the PGA Diversity Workshop. Out of that experience, she has written 3 feature films and one pilot. She also wrote, produced and played an eccentric character along with a wildly spirited cast in the award-winning short, "Tupac is Not Dead" which premiered in the Martha's Vineyard African American Film Festival and screened around the country at many film festivals collecting awards along the way.
With an unwavering love and passion for the craft of acting, Tracey continues her studies at the Gloria Gifford Conservatory for Performing Arts in Los Angeles, CA. Within the Conservatory, she acts and produces the industry showcases and a one-act play festival which have been on the main stages of some of the best 99-seat theaters in Los Angeles. To date, she has produced and acted in over 40 shows.
When Tracey is not acting, she loves playing tennis, being a foodie (including watching all cooking shows and acting out her own cooking shows), indulging her Francophile tendencies or raiding office supply stores for the perfect pen and paper.
