Tracy got her Masters in Taxation (MST) from San Jose State in 2008 and her CPA license in 2009 while working for PwC. At PwC San Jose she was part of the core tax, venture capital and specialty tax group.
Since leaving PwC, Tracy has been a partner at Blum & Tripp. Blum & Tripp was cofounded by her father and Eric Blum. She inherited her father's client list and has worked to grow it. As a partner, she was focused on building out the practice and implementing changes to help modernize the firm.
