ACE Mentor Program of Northeast Florida

Tracey has been an integral and essential part of the ACE Mentor Program of Northeast Florida for 17 years. She began as a mentor at A.

She also serves as Secretary on the affiliate’s Board of Directors, where she guides best practices in program development, student recruitment and mentor engagement.

According to her peers, she leads by example, fostering a collaborative mentoring environment that encourages innovation and inclusivity.

Ashantae Green, ACE alum and now a Commissioner for the U.S. Dept. of Interior’s Gullah/Geechee Cultural Heritage Corridor Commission, says, “Tracey was not just a mentor to me; she was a guiding light who recognized my potential when I was still discovering it myself. She has touched countless lives with her dedication.”
