Tracey is a respected advocate for patient safety and passionate about ensuring the highest quality of aesthetics education.

Tracey received a diploma from AJ MacMaster School of Nursing in 1984. She then completed her education at Ryerson University, graduating in 1996 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing.

In 1990, she was hired as the operating room manager at the Cosmetic Surgery Institute in Toronto.

Tracey opened her own aesthetic practice in 2014 in Thornhill. She also drew from her teaching and practical experience to set up the THMA Consulting.  Tracey has made sure the program ensures patient safety by maintaining high standards and professional ethics.

She was the editor of the Plastic Surgical Nursing journal, the editor of the ISPAN (International Society of Plastic Aesthetic Nursing) Core Curriculum, which is the study guide for the CPSN (Certified Plastic Surgical Nurse) and CANS (Certified Aesthetic Nurse Specialist) certification exams.

Tracey is proud to be the past president of the ISPAN and a founding member for the Canadian Society of Aesthetic Specialty Nurses (CSASN). She chaired a task force that developed the Standards and Guidelines for Aesthetic Nurse Injectors recognized by the Canadian Nurse Association.
