• Tracey L. (343077) Tracey is a savvy journalist and columnist who has spent the past decade writing about personal finance, real estate and entertainment for the likes of The Washington Post, Kiplinger’s Personal Finance Magazine and Financial Advisor Magazine. Tracey prides herself on driving to the bottom line of each story, so that readers know not only what the news means to them, but what it will cost them.

They’re simply not finished." Whether crafting a column that asks the question: Can this DC guy actually retire with $1 million in this volatile market (Financial Advisor Magazine) or going behind the scenes at Wolftrap to figure out what makes an up-and-coming Latino comic tick (The Washington Post), Tracey has the rare ability to make readers feel like they are on the scene and part of the story. She’s not only capable of asking the hard questions, but of obtaining answers and conveying them in a way that are meaningful and actionable for the reader.
