Born in 1986, Tracy is a talented artist proficient in many media. At the age of 17 she was commissioned to paint a mural for a downtown Austin business, and she performed design work for an Austin advertising agency directed toward youth. She placed “Best in Show” when competing in a Visual Arts Competition receiving a scholarship. Her love of travel, and interest in people and other cultures inspired her to go on a nine month Rotary exchange in Strasbourg, France. Her travels have taken her to Mexico, Ecuador, Costa Rica, Canada, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Germany and Austria. She is fluent in French and proficient in Spanish, which puts her the challenging position of language tutor on Kai Ohana. Self-motivated, analytical and grounded, she constantly is working on herself. In her commitment for improvement, she obtained a first-degree black belt in Taekwondo. Her basic philosophy is “If it makes you unhappy then you shouldn’t do it.”
