D. Layne Coppock

Professor, Department of Environment and Society (ENVS), Utah State University

“I have known Tracy Jones for about 13 years. She has been a member of the senior support staff for the ENVS department during this time.  Tracy has helped me with countless tasks–editorial, administrative, and teaching-related.  She is highly competent and very professional in her demeanor. She is also cheerful, no matter how onerous the request.

The key for me is her trustworthiness–once Tracy has a job to do there is no angst that it will be done to the highest standard.  Outside of the departmental routine I have had Tracy proof-read large project reports, grant proposals, nomination letters, scientific manuscripts, and scholarly book chapters; some of the reports and chapters have included material in other languages besides English.

Besides her incredible text editing skills, she has also helped me with the selection, editing, and presentation of color photos to appear as illustrations in manuscripts.  One of Tracy’s hobbies is photography, so this is yet another element of her skill set that comes in very handy.  To those considering hiring Tracy for work as described above, she has my highest recommendation.”

International Consultant for Rangeland Management, USU Emeritus

Tracy used her skills in Adobe InDesign to do the layout for a field data-collection form to be employed in northern Namibia in April 2016. I was struggling to arrange all the required information and illustrations on one page in the right format, so I turned to Tracy for help. She did an excellent job, and I was very pleased. My colleagues were impressed. Next time I’ll go straight to Tracy and not embarrass myself with an amateur’s effort.

“Tracy is hands-down one of the best individuals I have ever worked with. She is extremely capable, has a great attitude, and always gets the job done before deadline and above expectations. I worked with Tracy at Utah State for many years, and after leaving USU to join the faculty at the University of Maine, hired her for a number of important projects. I give her my highest recommendation.”
