About Tracey
A native of Bethlehem, PA (USA), Tracey Kleber has been a dedicated animal advocate and volunteer for decades, having given her time and financial support to both local and global animal rights organizations.
In early 2016 she left her job, sold her home in Los Angeles, and fulfilled a lifelong dream of moving to Italy, where she would begin her entrepreneurial pursuits tied to her passion for animals. And at the end of 2020 she moved from Italy to her current home in Scotland, which she shares with her four rescued dogs, Natalia, Elisabetta ("Lizzie"), Mario and Luigi.
Tracey is Founder and Board President of the vegan advocacy non-profit, Toward A Vegan World, Founder and Director of Four Dogs and A Fish Productions, the host of "The Unexpected Activist" Podcast, and will soon be releasing her first vegan lifestyle book, “Mud, Grapes and White Linen: A Beautiful Vegan Life”.
Before setting out on her current entrepreneurial adventures, Tracey had 30 years’ experience in both the non-profit and for-profit sectors. She has worked as a fundraiser for higher education at some of the leading universities in the US including the University of Pennsylvania and UCLA and as a fundraiser for environmental conservation with The Nature Conservancy’s Latin America Program. She combines that experience with 12 years of work in the marketing/advertising industry, spending time with agencies both in the US and UK. Tracey holds a B.S. from Lehigh University and a Certificate in Fundraising Management from the University of Pennsylvania.
