In 1978, following a dramatic escape from war torn Vietnam Tracy’s parents boarded a leaky boat, exchanged wedding rings enroute to Malaysia, and then sold them and their scant possessions to feed themselves and their relatives on the journey. They had no idea of what their future would hold or whether they would live.

In 2016, Tracy took on the role of presenter for Today Perth News, before moving to the Nine Live Perth chair at 4pm in 2018.She is also a familiar voice on Radio 6PR.

2020 saw her move back to Sydney to take on the TODAY newsreader role, before returning home to Perth later in the year due to COVID-19.
