Tracy came on staff to lead the Children, Youth & Family (CYF) team in the summer of 2023, and has been impressing us with her creative approach to telling kids about Jesus ever since! She got her B.A. in Mathematics Education at Concordia College, Moorhead (fun fact—3 out of 4 daughters went/go there too!). She earned her M.Ed. from Saint Mary's University of MN. She met her husband Monty while doing radio at her college radio station KORD, and they now have four daughters, 24, 21, and twin 18-year-olds.
Their family lived in Loxton, South Australia for three years (2012-2015). While there, she worked as a pastoral care worker in two of the local schools. She still likes to tell our ‘ankle-biters’ to “chuck your rubbish in the bin!” Besides spending time with family, for fun she likes reading, going for walks with her dog Bill, getting out in a kayak, and working in her yard.
