From Gary De Carolis:

Five words that describe Tracie Hauck: Empathetic, Resourceful, Dependable, Conscientious, Adaptable

Tracie was born in Orwell, VT and grew up on a dairy farm. She was the youngest of 7 children. She became a Registered Nurse at the age of 20 after completing Nursing school at Albany Medical Center School of Nursing. She worked as a RN for about 30 years and loved the job. After dealing with a substance use issue where she lost her nursing license, she began working at the Turning Point Center of Rutland where she eventually became the Director in 2015 and is still working there today. Tracie was married for 23 years and has a beautiful daughter, Rachel.

Everything that has happened in her life has led her to where she is today-whether it was good, bad or ugly. She remains grateful for all that life has given her because if all of those things didn’t happen, her life wouldn’t be what it is today!
