As a retired educator with 31 years of teaching experience, Tracie firmly believes in lifelong learning, which inspired her to embark on a second career in the legal field.
Tracie began her professional journey by graduating from Texas A&M University in 1990 with a B.A. in Speech Communication and minoring in business. To further her education, she earned a Master's in Secondary Education from Texas A&M-Commerce in 2000 while working full-time as a social studies teacher and team lead. Working in the public school system for 31 years has honed Tracie’s organization, time management, and interpersonal communication skills while also strengthening her patience and multitasking abilities—all of which seamlessly translate into her role at the law firm.
​
Born here in the great state of Texas, Tracie is passionate about her love of all things Texan, including, but not limited to, football, baseball, and Texas music and travel. When not working, Tracie can be found in the kitchen exploring new culinary recipes to try out on her husband, Chadd, and their three dogs, Jäger, Jake, and Bruno, who are willing guinea pigs. When not cooking, you can find her working in the garden growing herbs and produce to use as ingredients.
Tracie’s belief that “quality is not an act, it is a habit” (thank you Aristotle) is a driving force behind her lifelong love of learning and striving to be better every day. She hopes her efforts are reflected in her work and her relationships with the people around her friends, family, and even strangers. This will be her mark on the world.
