Tracy Emmanuel

Tracy started studying rivers in college after whitewater kayaking sparked her interest, especially with how water ebbs and flows. As she was studying Math and Environmental Studies at the time, it was a natural fit to her current work as a Fluvial Geomorphologist and Senior Project Manager. Her favorite Otak projects have been the St. Vrain Creek and Godfrey Diversion Restoration Projects. After work, you can find Tracy mountain biking, skiing, or camping with her family.
