Tracy Lee Silveria

I am passionate about photography and journalism. I have a strong sense of the importance of communication in all its varied forms; print, web, verbal and visual. I pride myself in being organized and being a stickler for details, for thinking on my feet and working in a collaborative method.
I thrive in an environment that fosters and rewards independent and creative thinking. I am a strong team player and am not afraid to be a leader. I embrace new challenges, and am not hesitant to ask for assistance in areas that are outside my expertise.
