Need to perform Skip Trace to sue my previous tenant

Hi BP family,

I recently started land lording on my own and had to kick my tenant out who lied about her income and didn't pay rent. I made her give me a 30 day notice to leave and she left but obviously left her smelly, insect filled mattresses and couches along with broken windows, walls, and screens. She gave me a forwarding address so I can send her deposition of deposit but it got rejected because her PO box does not belong to her. Now I want to take her to small claims because she owes me about $7k in damages and missed rent. I was told I can do a skip trace, does anybody have any expertise in this field? Or can help me perform one?
