About Tracy

I became a caregiver because I care about people and believe everyone deserves to be treated with respect. My mom and step father both have been sick and I was very upset with the level of care provided to them and decided I wanted to make a difference, even if a small one. I'm very proud of switching careers from mortgage banking to CNA which was a big step for me and I plan on finishing my degree to become a nurse.
