Tracy Steer, Clinical AssistantTracy started working at Award Prosthetics in May 2002 shortly after becoming a client. Tony recognized her skills and encouraged her to work at his facility. It was a good call. Since that time she has become a devoted & dedicated employee who is extremely knowledgeable in virtually all aspects of this prosthetic facility. With a strong background in the customer service, she has terrific I.T. skills, works on funding applications, billings, etc. She also assists with consultations, fittings, and being a below knee amputee (since 1994), is sometimes a test model for new products and students at BCIT. At one point Tracy considered a career in Prosthetics. She has a strong desire to help other amputees and traveled with her husband, Larry, to Belize last year to work with the prosthetist there on their holidays. Tracy is a mentor and role model for many amputees in BC and around the world. |
