Tracey is a firm believer in the power of investigations to help ensure fairness in the workplace. She brings a deep sense of responsibility to be impartial in her work, because she appreciates the impact investigations have on the lives of all involved.
Over almost three decades, Tracey has been a partner at a national employment law firm and in-house counsel at Uber, AT&T and a children’s summer camp. She has also served as a mediator and a coach. Her range of experience helps Tracey to see each investigation from multiple perspectives. She leverages this experience to handle investigations of all kinds, from individual issues between co-workers to those involving members of the C-suite, from simple cases to the highly complex.
Tracey handles investigations involving allegations of discrimination, harassment, retaliation, and bullying. In addition, a unique area of Tracey’s practice involves investigations into accusations of financial malfeasance. While she is not a forensic accountant, Tracey has helped organizations uncover patterns of fraud or deceit resulting in misuse of funds.
Tracey frequently speaks about and trains others on employment law issues, including prevention of harassment, discrimination and retaliation; appropriate handling of reasonable accommodation of disabilities; managing workplace conflict; and catalyzing diversity, equity and inclusion in the workplace. She also trains in-house investigators on investigation techniques and eliminating bias in investigations.
Tracey received her mediator certification from the Straus Institute for Dispute Resolution at Pepperdine University School of Law and served as a volunteer mediator for the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). She graduated from the Association of Workplace Investigators’ (AWI’s) Training Institute for Workplace Investigators in 2016.
In her spare time, Tracey enjoys hiking, especially in national parks. She also likes to travel and learn about different cultures, take photographs, and spend time with her family and friends.
