About Tamara
Greetings,
After years of working as a Healthcare Manager in the US Air Force Reserve, Recreational Therapist and as a Program Coordinator, I’ve acquired keen abilities to educate, guide and inspire the individuals of my department as we restore, remediate and rehabilitate our resident’s level of functioning and independence in life activities, promote health and wellness as well as reduce or eliminate their limitations. I obtained my Bachelors of Science degree from the University of Southern Mississippi and a Masters of Science in Healthcare Administration from Texas Tech University Health Science Center. I’ve completed research on Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and an internship within the Veterans Health Administration.
As one can tell from my work and education experience in Health services, I have a sheer passion for seeing to the needs of others. I strongly believe in integrity, equity, honesty and inclusion. In my eyes, no one should have to walk through their battles alone. In the past I have given countless hours of my time coordinating and leading service projects in my community to see that disadvantage youth, veterans, low income families and individuals without a home were fed, warm and educated.
My long term goals are to become an administrator within the VA. Guiding the care of the brave men and women who have paid the way for me to be where I am today, provides a sense of fulfillment that words cannot express. I also desire to commission into the United States Navy Medical Service Corps and one day begin a non-profit college preparation & leadership academy for high school teens in my hometown.
