About Tracey Prescod

A perpetual possibility seeker, I believe that anything is possible, and anyone can be an effective agent of change. As a human potential cultivator, organizational strategist, content creator, and serial socialpreneur, I strive to harness the powerful forces of individuals and organizations to maximize the potential of the social sector, building and executing purpose-driven strategies. I hold a B.A. in Liberal Arts from the University of Richmond and am currently pursuing my M.A. in Industrial & Organizational Psychology from Lynn University. With a focus shared on commonalities and leveraging strengths, combined with competencies in organizational management, strategic planning, project management, and storytelling, I identify intersections of collaboration to lead us forward as we live into possibility.\"Nothing can dim the light that shines from within\"-Maya Angelou
