I am an award-winning multimedia journalist and producer. I have worked throughout Latin America, speak fluent Spanish and am a former Fulbright scholar in Ecuador. I love telling stories whether it's with words, pictures or video. I am available to shoot anything from news assignments and profiles to features and short documentaries. I am a problem solver and work well with people. My storytelling tools include a Panasonic G9 4k video camera, a DJI Osmo, a DJI Mavic drone, a Canon HF G50 and a Hero7 Go Pro; Sennheiser wireless mics, a Deity shotgun mic, Fotodiox lights and other gear. I have a strong journalism background. I headed Dallas Morning News bureaus in Mexico and Cuba from 1994 to 2005. I investigated corruption and organized crime in Mexico and along the U.S.-Mexico border, and covered the fighting in Afghanistan after the Sept. 11 attacks. I've been awarded four Pulitzer Center travel grants - three for work in Cuba, one for a project in Bolivia. I travel to Cuba regularly. In 2015 and 2016, I assisted NBC’s Nightly News, led by Lester Holt, with its coverage in Cuba. I also produce videos for businesses and non-profit organizations, including Flagler College in St. Augustine, Florida.

Tracey was a true pro to work with. He professionally planned and executed a shoot we needed on a tight timeline in Orlando, FL with a guest for a package we're editing in New York. The footage was excellent quality and we got everything we needed per our phone conversations. Was always available and reachable. Will definitely work with again.

As always, Tracey provided a smart, nuanced, and compassionate story.

I helped create this video, which includes interviews with two survivors of the Pulse nightclub attack in Orlando, Florida.
Economic hardship forces many Cubans to set out for the United States. They often leave their families behind. For this story, I interviewed young people who had just reached the U.S. and the family members they left behind in Cuba.
Produced for USA Today
I traveled to Bolivia and produced this story and video for USA Today. The story ran online and was the lead feature in the paper's domestic edition. The Pulitzer Center supported my trip.

I produced this piece about Louisville, Kentucky, an unexpected new hotspot for Cubans. This is an example of the multimedia journalism that I do. I create stories, photos and videos for every project that I do.
Produced for Weather Group Television, LLC
For this story, I interviewed residents of St. George, Georgia. Authorities had ordered residents to evacuate as a wildfire continued to spread in the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge near the Florida-Georgia border. Many townspeople refused to leave, saying they wanted to stay behind to try to save homes and businesses. The Weather Channel URL is no longer active, so I use a YouTube link.

Bee Love Slater's body was found in a burning Chrysler PT Cruiser left along a canal near the Florida Everglades. She was the 18th transgender woman to be killed so far in 2019, rights activists say. Her death has heightened fears among transgender people throughout Florida.
