A versatile interdisciplinary creative professional with a wealth of experience in administrative and marketing support across diverse sectors, Tamara is known for her exceptional problem-solving skills and her expertise in project management, which has earned her the well-deserved title of a 'jack-of-all-trades' in the administrative world.

Tamara's educational journey is as diverse as her career, having pursued degrees in Business Management and Fashion Design from the International Academy of Design and Technology. Complementing her extensive skill set is a Certificate in Project Management from DePaul University, with aspirations to soon complete a Certificate in Paralegal Studies.

While Tamara's path has led her through brief stints in Seattle, WA, and Atlanta, GA, she now proudly calls Uptown, Chicago, her home. Here, she blends her passions for creativity, business acumen, customer service, and thrives on forging connections with people. Her journey has led to exciting roles as both an Interior Home Designer and a Kitchen Designer, and as a home stager during the frenetic housing boom of 2021.

But Tamara's creative journey doesn't stop there. She's also a burgeoning voice-over artist, honing her talents at Studio C in Evanston. Her latest venture, "This Class Picture," is an engaging podcast inspired by a 1979 group photo featuring her classmates. Within the podcast, they share their experiences, from humble urban beginnings in one of Chicago's most racially diverse communities, to their current positions in life, all while exploring the challenges they've encountered along the way.
