She is a graduate of Georgia State University, where she earned a Bachelor of Interdisciplinary Studies in Human Learning and Development. Her studies focused on counseling, educational psychology, reading instruction, special education, and cultural studies. Her strong academic foundation in the Science of Learning directly supports children with diverse learning styles, developmental needs, and family backgrounds.

Ms. Tracy’s professional journey has been shaped by extensive hands-on experience as a nanny, private educator, homeschool instructor, Holistic Newborn Care Specialist, and Early Childhood Development Specialist. Her work centers on individualized care, intentional learning, and building strong relationships with both children and families. She works closely with parents and caregivers to help them navigate developmental milestones, early learning, sleep routines, feeding transitions, school readiness, and the emotional and behavioral needs of young children. She specializes in creating customized learning plans and routines that foster early literacy, emotional well-being, confidence, and structured yet nurturing environments where children can thrive.

Her experience also extends into community education and program leadership through her work in the public library system. While serving with the Royston Public Library, Tracy planned outreach programs, organized Summer Reading initiatives, curated a diverse and accessible children’s collection, and helped foster a lifelong love of reading for children of all backgrounds. She was honored to serve on the committee for the Georgia Children’s Book Awards through the University of Georgia and helped secure funding for a children’s garden project that introduced families to gardening, beekeeping, outdoor learning, and culinary experiences using the produce they grew together
