Her focus is to drive growth and revenue using her passion for content creation and innovation.

Tamara began her career in the music and fashion industries where she was instrumental in the success of some of the most celebrated musicians and fashion brands. Starting at New York City's infamous Hit Factory, Tamara managed studios, engineers, and recording sessions for some of the world's most famous musicians and bands, including Mariah Carey, Michael Jackson, and Aerosmith. While at RCA Records, she oversaw projects for recording artists such Tyrese, SWV, and Christina Aguilera. Her time in fashion saw her bring to life new brands such as Sean John and J Lo's line for Kohl's at MAGIC Las Vegas, the largest retail apparel trade show held biannually.

Next, Tamara made an intentional pivot to make a direct impact on people's lives. She began work in the healthcare sector supporting and developing physicians' private practice brands, and working for a company opening inpatient residential and outpatient addiction treatment facilities nationwide.

She then developed and led the strategic marketing plan to re-articulate, re-name, and relaunch Student Leadership Network - the organization formerly known as Young Women's Leadership Network - the 22-year old education non-profit started and led by Ann and Andrew Tisch. There, Tamara reorganized the development team and led them to a historic $10M+ in revenue in less than one year and produced two of their annual benefits, raising close to $2M in total.
