Tracy Frederick, Ph.D.
Sr. Executive Recruiter

Based in Kansas


I believe deeply in giving back - serving others with my time, talents, and the money I have earned. The opportunity to give in a larger way - supporting mission-focused nonprofit organizations by recruiting outstanding, talented individuals who share their mission and have the expertise to help the organization become even more successful allows my reach to help others extend even beyond my life. Bryant Group gives me that opportunity.
