As a parole officer she supervised and managed the release of violent offenders back into the community. She has also worked extensively on behalf of at-risk youth in need of positive adult mentors.

Tracy's responsibilities as a Parole Officer included gathering relevant offender information and integrating relevant research data that was then compiled into Offender Background and Pre-sentence Investigation Reports. The reports were used by judges to help determine sentencing, as well as parole boards to determine conditions of release. Tracy's experience has created a unique skill set that includes the superior ability to search, locate and articulate complex legal findings for use in a civil or business environment. She has conducted thousands of interviews with law enforcement officials, victims and offenders. Her findings were transformed into a report format utilized at various levels of the judicial system. Tracy's ability to uncover information and intelligence has proven to be particularly useful for clients dealing with mergers, acquisitions and due diligence investigations.
As a result of these experiences, Tracy has a wide network of established contacts in both the public and private sector. These contacts continue to prove invaluable with her work at AG Advisors, especially when conducting intelligence research in the area of risk mitigation.
