About Traci: Traci was first inspired to be a performer at an early age when she watched her older sister participate in school plays and longed to jump on stage alongside her. Most young girls suffering from shyness and a nervous stutter wouldn’t even consider it, but nothing would stop this determined young girl. Instead, she would start out as a young dancer and even discover her silly side riding a unicycle with the group Supercycles. It wasn’t until years later in college, when Traci enrolled in an acting class that she would realize her true passion for acting. In 1991, Traci was crowned Miss Virginia-USA and went on to be in the top 15 at the Miss USA pageant. Not long afterwards, Traci returned to the stage, appearing in local productions and finally made the decision to move to Los Angeles and continue her entertainment pursuits where she landed the role of "Jenny Slater" in the cult classic, Grosse Pointe Blanke with John Cusack and Minnie Driver. Currently, Traci is in pre-production as writer/producer/actor of the romantic comedy Nuclear Families. Loosely based on her own family, the story follows a 35 year old successful ad executive, as she battles the screwball demons of her wildly eccentric multiple marriages family in order to face her own fears about commitment and learn that love is simply a leap of faith.
