Testimonials
While at The Theatre School at DePaul University, Tracee was (and 10 years later, still is) one of my most trusted mentors. She was instrumental in helping me navigate early career decisions, especially moving from Chicago to New York to pursue a career in the arts administration, and more recently deciding to go to law school to continue my career in the industry. She has guided me through decisions with understanding, empathy, and knowledge. Her passion for helping others is evident in any conversation you'll have with her. It can be scary to break into this industry, but having Tracee on your side for the first and most important step is the right decision!

I loved my time working for Tracee. She is one of the most considerate, thoughtful bosses I have ever had. Not only that, but Tracee is the main reason that I chose to commit to DePaul in the first place. She took the time and energy to really get to know me as a person and make me feel like an individual instead of making me feel like a check or a statistic.

Tracee was the Director of Admissions for The Theatre School at DePaul University when I was looking into graduate school. As a disabled student, Tracee took the time to answer all of my questions and was upfront with the information she was not sure of, but was more than willing to get me the information I needed. I feel like Tracee went above and beyond to make sure that she could help me make as informed a choice as I possibly could.

Tracee was more than just an advisor—she was a champion for my future. She guided me through the entire college application process, helped me gain admission to DePaul University, and even advocated for scholarship support on my behalf. After I enrolled, I had the privilege of working for her in the admissions office for three years. As Director of Admissions, she was an incredible boss and leader—supportive, inspiring, and deeply committed to both her team and the students she served.
