After earning a B.A. in English literature from the University of Virginia, Tracey moved to Florida to teach middle school language arts at Tampa Preparatory School and spent a year teaching English to both high school students and adults in Chile. She earned her M.A. in Education from the University of California at Berkeley, and currently teaches 7th and 8th grade English in a bilingual program at Cesar Chavez Middle School in Hayward, California.
