Hey there, I'm Tracey.🍃

Content architect. Brand storybuilder. Creative steward.

Over the last 10 years, I’ve worked within higher ed, healthcare, engineering consulting, professional services firms, retail brands, financial services, start-ups, and non-profit organizations to deliver creative campaigns, smart strategy, and engaging narratives. In that time, I’ve put on many writing hats: creative writing, technical writing, ghostwriting, email marketing writing, script writing, blog writing, and so much more.

Working in communications and content strategy has always felt like a natural fit for me — a perfect combination of my duelling left and right brains. No matter the project or campaign, I aim to bring equal parts precision and creativity to the table.

As I've come to realize, being a strong communicator is least of all a job title and primarily a state of mind: a way of looking at yourself and the world, and more importantly, the way you view your place in the world. And, as it so happens, the question of “Who am I?” is at the foundation of every timeless story told around the world.

That same question has given impetus to my journey as a professional writer, which has been focused on highlighting the human element behind stories that are not often told or are seldom understood. Whether I'm leading a full-funnel communications campaign or whipping up an ad hoc press release, my work has always been rooted in one principle: put people at the heart of the experience, and write from there.
