Meet Tamara
In short, I’ve been surrounded by people who pushed me, challenged me, made me laugh, made me better, and made me happy. This is my goal as I interact with others….to push, challenge, inspire and bring joy. I try to apply the same skill set of persistence, courage, and sense of adventure from my athletic training, skydiving, marathon and obstacle course racing, legislative work, and mission trips to my work with individuals from the autistic and autism communities. Let’s continue to learn, grow, and expand options together!!
