Traci, now in the seventh grade at Ecker Hill Middle School in Park City, Utah, started ski jumping when she was ten years old. Her best friend, Avery Ardonvino was ski jumping and she wanted her to try it. So she did and she's loved it ever since. Her best moment in ski jumping was the first time she jumped the K40. Her worst moment was when she tip digged and bruised three ribs.

Traci has a big brother who she would like to jump with her, but he does not. Her family gives her a lot of support, but only Traci and her dad jump. When not ski jumping, Traci enjoys horseback riding, dirt biking and snowmobiling.

Regarding future goals... "To be the best I can be in everything I try and to be on the USA Women Ski jumping team, if they ever have one and to do well in school."
