She brings over twenty years of leadership experience in human-centered research and design, including roles at Google, GlaxoSmithKline, and Ipsos, where she built high-performing teams, facilitated organizational change, and coached professionals through significant transitions. A certified coach with deep roots in facilitation and human-centered practice, she is committed to integrating evidence-based clinical training with her professional background in understanding and empowering people. Tracy is actively pursuing internship experience in both individual and group counseling settings. She lives and works in the San Francisco Bay Area.
