Tracey has a varied work history to draw from and enjoys hearing of other people’s career and life journeys. Having come full circle back to her original career path - building on her psychology degree and initial career in recruitment, Tracey also knows what it is like to change course, re-train and launch into a new, but in her case, familiar field. She finds this varied knowledge and her keen interest in the world of work helpful in relating to clients from all walks of life.

Tracey’s interest in careers stemmed from seeing the confusion and pressure teens experience deciding ‘what they are going to be’ and the deluge of messages raining down on them. As well as working with teenagers planning their study and next steps and career changers she also likes combining the skills gained working in the marketing and communication fields to help job seekers craft well-targeted CVs and cover letters to market themselves to potential employers.

With two teen children herself she is very interested in what the future world of work is going to look like and how best to prepare her children and their cohort for the opportunities and challenges it will bring.
