Tracy graduated from University High School in the Spokane valley, where she played on the tennis team, and Eastern Washington University in Cheney with a BA in Elementary Education. She then did some substitute teaching while at the same time working as an Administrative Assistant in a family business. Having a family took her away from the workforce for a time. Coming back to work took her to Eagles Ice-A-Rena where she taught Pre-School Skate and volunteered time with the Spokane Americans Youth Hockey Association. Volunteering eventually turned into running the Youth Hockey Office. Tracy loves being at SRC and bringing the skills of her prior work with her to support the SRC tennis community.
