In 2024, Tracy Hunter joined Drake & Associates’ Client Experience Team. She grew up in West Allis and now calls the Town of Ottawa home. Outside of work, you can find Tracy restoring her oak forest, running agility courses with her border collies, and enjoying hobby homesteading.
"My love for gardening was instilled in me by my grandmother, a passionate 'victory gardener,' and my mother, who cultivated beautiful perennial gardens with an artistic touch. Fifteen years ago, I embarked on a hobby homesteading journey, learning to preserve the harvest from my garden through canning and freeze drying. Recently, I have focused on restoring the majestic oaks on my Town of Ottawa property. These oaks are vital to the woodland ecosystem, and forest restoration is an ongoing process that demands consistent action. Working in harmony with nature provides an experience of immense satisfaction and accomplishment. It requires dedicated effort and patience."
