Tracy served in the United States military for 4 years as a communications specialist and then returned home to earn a liberal arts degree. Once Tracy’s children were all school age she returned to school to earn a Physical Therapist Assistant degree from Macomb Community College. Tracy chose the field of physical therapy after seeing the positive impact that PT had on the life of a relative born with a lifelong disability. Tracy has worked in homecare, skilled nursing and has found satisfaction working in an orthopedic setting and being able to see how her skills help patients recover from illness and injury to return to an active and healthy lifestyle.
