The Upper New York (UNY) Conference is pleased to welcome Tracy Rickett as HR Generalist. Tracy is taking on roles that were once Susan LaTessa’s prior to Susan’s position change to Director of HR/Benefits. Tracy will be responsible for recruiting, onboarding, updating the employee handbook as needed, writing job descriptions, and coordinating the employee’s wellness program.

Tracy comes to UNY with over 20 years of Human Resources experience in the corporate world. Tracy graduated from Lemoyne with a BA in Business Administration. She started her career at Fay’s Drugs as a personnel associate and moved her way up to Benefits Administrator. She then worked for NEC Business Network Solutions as a Senior HR Administrator for eight years and spent the past 13 years as first an HR Specialist and then a Benefits Compliance Specialist at INFICON.

Tracy said, “I’m excited to be working here at the Upper New York Conference. I have felt such a sense of peace and calmness here, which is a nice change from the corporate world.”

Speaking of her supervisor, Susan LaTessa, Tracy said, “I think Susan will be a great mentor for me.”

Outside of the office, Tracy is dedicated to yoga, practicing 2-3 times a week and she also enjoys mountain biking and baking.
