She found life on the water to be agreeable to her lifestyle and decided to make a career out of it. She began her yachting experience on a 112’ Hatteras and has worked on yachts big and small from 100’ to 203’.
When not busy working, Tracy likes to paddleboard and is also an avid scuba diver, having traveled to Fiji and Micronesia to pursue some of the best diving in the world.
