| Tracey Moynihan Rosa is a twice Emmy nominated television journalist who worked for a NBC and Fox affiliate in Hampton Roads, Virginia. During her 8 years as a reporter and anchor she covered everything from the military at the biggest Navy base on the east coast to medical breakthroughs at a nationally ranked research hospital.
Tracey’s first Emmy nomination came in 2002 with a series of news reports about a convicted child molester and his victim’s mission to keep him behind bars. Tracey’s reporting, along with the victim’s relentless hard work, forced the Commonwealth of Virginia to fund a law called the Civil Commitment Law. To this day, non rehabilitated sex offenders are civilly committed, after they serve their jail time, and are unable to offend again. In 2003 Tracey received her second Emmy nod after being granted an exclusive interview with the sexual predator- the first and only time he spoke openly about his crimes, and the new law that would keep him off the streets for good.
Tracey and her work have been seen on CNN, MSNBC, The Today Show, and FOX News. Her success has also been highlighted in The Bradenton Herald, The Virginian Pilot, and The Daily Press.
Tracey graduated, with honors, from Old Dominion University with a bachelor’s degree in Mass Communications and a minor in Journalism. In addition to her work with game on, Tracey voluntarily handles all the media and public relations for a local non profit, The Junior League of Manatee County.
While she admits her two Emmy nominations were the highlights of her career. Tracey will tell you her greatest achievements were the births of her two daughters and the wonderful marriage to her husband, Miguel!
