Tracey Wigfield is an American comedy writer who won an Emmy Award in 2013 for her work on 30 Rock.
Raised in Wayne, New Jersey, Wigfield graduated in 2001 from the all-girls Immaculate Heart Academy, a Catholic high school in Washington Township, Bergen County, New Jersey. As a child, she used her parent's video camera to record comedy skits together with a friend. Wigfield graduated from Boston College in 2005, where she majored in theater.
She has written for and performed with the Upright Citizens Brigade. Tina Fey hired Wigfield at the age of 23 as a staff writer after convincing her to submit a sample of her writing skills and moved up to lead writer and then producer. Wigfield and Fey did much of the writing for the series finale of 30 Rock and the two won the Emmy Award for the episode, which aired in January 2013. After her work on 30 Rock, Jack Burditt brought her to California to write for The Mindy Project and its star Mindy Kaling.
