Tracie enjoys transferring her analytical and writing skills gained within corporate settings, to the areas of academic research. Her curiosity around the disproportionate mortality and morbidity experienced by minorities during the pandemic led to the exploration of complex decision making in pandemic environments. Tracie’s graduate research on nursing decision making in the allocation of scarce resources during COVID-19 produced the Provider Crisis Decision Making model exploring the effects of provider safety concerns on patient care and provider wellbeing. This model describes areas of concern for nurse leadership in crisis environments and is intended as a tool for organizational leadership to improve patient care and provider well-being.

Tracie’s teaching activities include working as a Teaching Assistant at Harvard University (HES), and Course facilitator at Harvard Medical School. As Adjunct Professor at Emory University she manages the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine’s Global Education Unit to advance World Health Organization (WHO) 2030 initiatives. Tracie has been published in several per reviewed journals and is co-author of a lifestyle medicine book.
