Why She Loves Teaching
"I love the "A-Ha!" moment when someone realizes that this stuff (Lean Six Sigma) works. It's obvious that they now see differently a fresh perspective – on a whole new world around them. This is why Proust's quote (below) resonates with me. Witnessing the moments of seeing with new eyes energizes me and drives me to do what I do."
Professional Summary
Tracy got her start as a Six Sigma Black Belt at GE Appliances in the late 1990s with Jack Welch at the helm. After a Black Belt career at GE, she became a Lean Six Sigma Consultant and has helped many organizations with all aspects of Lean Six Sigma.
