Traci was born in Los Angeles, California, and although she has dual residency in California and Michigan, she will always consider LA to be home. She has expressed an amazing amount of patience and courage in her life, raising her three children as a single mother while maintaining her career in nursing. Now, she and Michael share a beautiful marriage with their blended family of five children. To her, family is everything, and she loves to host them all for the holidays.

Traci’s worked in healthcare for 32 years as a Registered Nurse, much of which was in management, prior to retiring from UCLA Health Center. She always loved working with seniors and admired having a deep connection with her patients. The transition from taking care of seniors’ physical health to their financial health was seamless due to her passion for taking care of all aspects of their lives. She has seen the importance of having a secure, sound retirement plan in place to ease the burdens of financial responsibilities first-hand. She finds fulfillment in helping educate clients on how to better manage their financial health. Along with M&T Financial Group, she prides herself on integrity, honesty, and transparency. She believes these three qualities are essential in the financial industry.

Traci loves to travel anywhere she can learn about different cultures, sight-see, and have new, meaningful experiences; she especially loves anywhere warm and sunny! In her free time, she enjoys fishing on the lake, reading a great mystery novel, and planning her next travel destination. Recently, she has been learning how to golf, a hobby she and her husband can do together!
