I am proud to have grown up in the small town of Shoshoni, Wyoming. After graduating high school, I went to a small college in Williston, North Dakota. After only two years away from home, I decided to go to college in my home state and transferred to the University of Wyoming. I have always loved writing and chose to go into the journalism field and got my degree in Journalism from UW in December of 2011. I have two sisters, one of which is my twin. Spending time with my sisters is one of my favorite things in the world, but it seems there is never enough time for me to see them as often as I would like. My activities outside of work include spending time with my dogs, watching too many sports, and reading as many books as time allows. Tracie became News Director of KOWB 1290AM in May 2014.
