She is currently based between the UK and North America where she is the host of the TV show Buy.o.logic on the Oprah Winfrey Network.
During this work placement, Traquair wrote a front-page story in a national paper about job losses due to the beef crisis.
In 1996, after cutting short her final year at school, Traquair was selected from hundreds of entrants to take part in an in-house training scheme with Aberdeen Journals.
She remained with the newspaper group for nearly five years; for the last two she was the crime and court reporter for local Aberdeenshire broadsheet The Press and Journal.
Traquair's interest in crime also led to STV North and Central's TV series Unsolved which looked into Scotland's most intriguing murder mysteries.
