Tracie has lived in Essex most of her life, settling in Southend 12 years ago.
In her teenage years and early twenties, Tracie was a singer. After getting married she ran pubs for a number of years, had 2 children and dabbled in other careers before deciding that radio was for her. Since 1999 she has been a producer, traffic presenter, had evening shows and been breakfast presenter, all on Essex stations, but joining Southend 105.1 is the most exciting move of her career.
Tracie lives near the seafront with her children, cats and dog. She is a passionate supporter of Havens Hospices, mad about music and has supported Spurs for 25 years (although, since moving to Southend, she has always kept one eye on Southend Utd, even introducing the team on match day, once!)
Favourite places in Southend include the beaches, the casinos and cycling along the seafront and through Shoebury, Wakering and Rochford. She also loves a good thriller, a good curry and a good red wine. Her CD collection has everything from Tony Bennett to the Foo Fighters. The show is just as varied, with plenty of music, topical chat and lots of local life.
