Tracey Rosenlund

Tracey was born and raised in Cheyenne, Wyoming, but lived on the East Coast from 1999–2005. She does not have a middle name because at birth her parents thought she was so wonderful and unique, she didn’t need one. (Middle names are for amateurs.) Her passion in life is to pursue a better and brighter future continually, and she is never satisfied with being stagnant. In addition to striving to provide her daughter a life she deserves and working full-time at Handel as a marketing assistant, she is attending the University of Wyoming to earn a degree in journalism. Three things she is most thankful for are her daughter, second chances and motivation. Her friends describe her as articulate, ambitious, intelligent and easy-going. The first thing people generally notice about her is her laugh—it is a robust laugh for a young woman. Think of a medieval king with a turkey leg in his mouth chortling at his jester and you get a good idea. When Tracey is not working or laughing heartily, she enjoys being outdoors (biking, camping, hiking, rock climbing and fishing) and going out with her friends and attending concerts.
