ALL ABOUT BUZZ
“I live for music and Tinseltown gossip,” says Traci. And who can argue? For the past 10 years, this Pickering, ON, native’s been a surefire source for hot entertainment headlines. Here’s why… In ‘95 she Hosted RapCity on sister station MuchMusic, followed by a move to Citytv Toronto in ’96 as the station’s Entertainment Specialist.
From 2000-2004, Traci thrived in L.A.’s celebrity scene -- guest starring on hit series CSI: Crime Scene Investigation and Lizzie McGuire, and reporting from countless red carpets as the Hollywood Correspondent for Star!News. She even honed her Hosting skills on these shows: F.Y.E.- For Your Entertainment (entertainment weekly), Extreme Close-Up (celebrity profiler) and, most recently, Style VIP (top stylists uncovered).
Along the way, Traci interviewed hundreds of stars - everyone from Diddy to Denzel Washington. So it’s no wonder she made a seamless transition from L.A. to M3 in August 2005 after just one audition. Fiercely chic and always ready to dish, Traci’s a lively Virgo who’s all about buzz.
RIGHT NOW, TRACI WANTS PEOPLE TO KNOW…
… that “every day is a new chance to pursue your dreams, spend time with loved ones and be an uplifting influence on everyone you come in contact with.”
BEYOND THE GLITZ ‘N’ GLAM
Traci’s passionate about being a positive role model, especially when it comes to underprivileged youth. In fact, she’s taken time to talk to students about setting goals and surrounding themselves with positive influences. “I had great guidance as a teen,” she says, “so I feel strongly about helping those in search of a better life path.”
