Tracey Habron
Tracey is a people person with a natural bent for logical processes and their improvement which is why you find her in the front of house for events – first on the registration desk with her team and then organising whatever else will keep attendees happy……like food! Her more than 20 years in IT, mainly as an IT business systems analyst, suits her logical mind while her part time alternative health practice balances her love of people. Her company is called Cut The Crap (TM) which sums up her methodology and mind set. For fun, she is currently taking off her clothes on stage as an amateur burlesque performer.
