Meet Our Team

Raised in Houston, Tracey grew up competing in sports. Her love of an active lifestyle and her passion for children inspired her to become a physical therapist.

After receiving her undergraduate degree from Texas A&M (whoop!) and her PT degree from UT Health Science Center, Tracey joined Methodist Children’s Hospital where she served inpatients and outpatients. She also helped develop specialty care programs for children with special needs as well as a program to combat childhood obesity. Many of Tracey’s patients wanted to increase their activity by playing sports, but opportunities did not exist for all of her pediatric patients. Always up for a challenge, Tracey asked, “Why not?” Her answer was two words—Kinetic Kids.

While she knows children with special needs benefit from our programs, she also loves watching the happiness they bring to family and friends! Her favorite moments are when sees families go from “my child never will” to “look at my child, he is an athlete.”

Tracey LOVES being a part of getting ALL kids onto a sports field. That’s probably because Tracey’s favorite place to be is on the sidelines cheering for her three children at football, basketball, baseball, soccer, swimming and volleyball.

And when she isn’t at a sporting event? Find her volunteering at schools, running for exercise, laughing with friends on Girls’ Night, or cherishing a date with her husband.

Kacey has been serving children with neurological disorders for over 20 years. In her early years as a physical therapist, her pediatric patents always wanted to dance or do gymnastics in the therapy session. This led Kacey to become determined to figure out how to give all kids a chance to play the sports of their choice. Her tenacity led her to co-found Kinetic Kids.

Watching Kinetic Kids thrive on the field, the stage, the court, or wherever their dreams take them, makes every day a joyful one for Kacey.

When she isn’t hanging out with Kinetic Kids, you might find Kacey serving on a mission trip with her church, sneaking away to Dallas to spend time with her college-aged son, relaxing on her boat on Lake Medina, or on a long walk with Evie, her Siberian husky.

Isabel has worked for nonprofit organizations as a fundraising professional since 1989. Recently relocated from the Houston area, she earned her degree from Our Lady of the Lake University and has family ties here in San Antonio.

Sports have always played a big part in Isabel’s life and in the lives of her children. A strong believer that sports and recreational activities have a positive impact in the development of a child, she is excited to be a part of an organization that enables children of all abilities to get involved.

In her free time, you will find Isabel outdoors in the hill country, on a river or at the beach. She is an avid gardener and baseball fan who loves spending time with her family.

Throughout physical therapy school, Natalie knew she wanted to use her education to empower and inspire children.

Combining her love of sports and the outdoors with her creative, organizational and physical therapy skills, she’s helped Kinetic Kids reach new heights for over a decade. You don’t have to look far to see her impact. She is involved in program development, grant management, volunteer education, video production, social media promotion and community outreach.

Natalie feels fortunate to work in an environment that makes it easy to live up to her motto: be the good and see the good in this world.

Michelle, an NDT-certified pediatric physical therapist, is a San Antonio native who joined Kinetic Kids in 2010. She started working with children with special needs in high school as a camp counselor. Inspired, she headed to UT Austin and then Texas State as she pursued her goal of becoming a PT.

Michelle is passionate about providing opportunities to children who want to be part of a team and forget about all the other stuff like therapies and doctor appointments. In addition to her time with Kinetic Kids, she also works at an outpatient clinic.

In her free time, she enjoys camping with her husband, her twin son and daughter, and her two dogs. Truth be told, she would spend every day at the river if possible!

Although she was born and raised in south Florida, Jenna spread her wings to Pennsylvania where she pursued a degree in Public Health. The move paid off when she came across her true passion of adapted sports. Obtaining a master’s degree in Adapted Physical Activity has given Jenna many amazing opportunities such as attending the Rio Paralympic games and ultimately joining the Kinetic Kids to lead the Xtreme division. Jenna feels at home in Texas and is excited to use her love of sports to create opportunities for children with disabilities.

If she isn’t traveling or outdoors on the water, you might find her digging into a bowl of ice cream…she can’t resist it!

From Alaska to Alabama and several states in between, this “military brat” now claims Texas as her home.  

After Carrie graduated BYU on a gymnastics scholarship, she pursued her masters in Occupational Therapy at Rockhurst University in Missouri. During her clinical rotation at Methodist Children’s Hospital, Carrie met Kinetic Kids co-founders Tracey and Kacey and formed a lasting friendship.  

After working at Easter Seals, she had her first son, Noah, who had Down syndrome.  Merging friendship, gymnastic, OT and love of kids with special needs, she joined Kinetic Kids to start our first gymnastics program. 

Fifteen years and five more children later, she still loves to see kids challenged to reach their full potential and she is currently working to expand our competitive programming.

Carrie enjoys volunteering at church and spending time with family and friends.   

Born and raised in San Antonio, Andrew overcame many obstacles to acquire his GED and ultimately graduate from the University of Texas at San Antonio with a major in Communications and a minor in Nonprofit Management.

Andrew’s journey to success makes his connection with Kinetic Kids even more meaningful. Seeing Kinetic Kids push themselves everyday to excel and seeing them enjoy the benefits of being included in a team motivates Andrew everyday and his passion to help others is reflected in his work. Andrew tackles any task thrown his way because he knows the payoff supports something greater than himself.

In his spare time, you’ll likely find Andrew at the AT&T Center rooting for the Spurs or at a local skate park thrashing!
