At the age of fourteen, Tracy Trinita was the first Indonesian model ever won the prestige Elite Model Look International competition in 1995. Prior to that, she was named the Cover Girl of the Year from Mode magazine, Indonesia. That was the start of her international modeling career that brought her across the globe: New York, Paris, Milan, Spain and Sydney to name the few. She appeared regularly in New York and Paris fashion week for prestigious labels such as Yves Saint Laurent, Jean Paul Gautier, Kenzo and more.  Her remarkable global campaign for United Colour of Benetton was one of the highlight of her youth. In 2001, she returned home after 6 years living abroad. Easily she found her way into Indonesia's entertainment industry, her career moved on from silver screen and television series actress to screen writer and music promoter while maintaining her little beach fashion shop in Bali.

Grew up in Bali with mixed religion background yet in 2001, she first encountered Christian faith that immediately touched both her heart and mind. In 2002, she accepted Jesus Christ as her Savior and King. Since then, she has been involved in ministry including mission trip to the jungles of Kalimantan. In 2006 by God's grace, she received a full scholarship to study at Oxford Christian Centre for Apologetics, Oxford University, UK. Finished with her postgraduate work, she continued her study in Christian Theology in Wycliffe Hall, Oxford (2007- 2009).

Tracy's passion is to share her knowledge and faith by equipping others with the truth of the word of God and renewing minds through apologetics. Borrowing her favorite apologist Ravi Zacharias' quote, she firmly strives to  "make believer think, and the thinker believe". Complimenting an enlightened mind, she also believes that one has to be the salt and light of the world through all the talents and capacity God entrusted in them.

She now served as an apologist and itinerant speaker in Yayasan Pengembangan Apologetika Indonesia (YPAI), she also dedicates herself as pastor in the International English Church (IES), Jakarta.

Tracy speaks extensively in many Christian meetings and universities in countries outside Indonesia such as Singapore, United Kingdom, Australia, and US.
