At the back of D115, there’s a cluster of iMacs lining the far wall. The middle four were home to myself and three other Sidekick staffers, including Tracy, during our sophomore year. I became close friends with her, allowing me the honor of getting to know one of the most persistent and determined people I’ve ever met. From the very beginning, Tracy has been an unstoppable force to be reckoned with. She was covering up to three assignments daily, and it always seemed like she was a league ahead of everyone else, even second and third year staffers, in terms of content production.
Over her three years on staff, Tracy has been known as an over-achieving, dependable staffer. Her dedicated reputation among the staff was confirmed by her winning the 2020 Sidekick Staffers’ Choice Awards for Best New Staff Member and Most Dedicated Staff Member, along with the 2020 Sidekick Adviser Award for Most Valuable Staff Member.Sreej
Since, Tracy has established herself as a versatile staffer, with experience in photo, video, design, writing and more. At her core, she reminds me of a drill: focused, determined and a little stubborn at times, just enough so everyone can trust she will get the job done.
