Tamara moved with her husband, Chris, from Whistler to Kamloops, to start a family. Until her kids went to school full-time, Tamara was a stay-at-home mom after which she decided to start her career. She was a licensed office manager at a mortgage brokerage, but she decided to switch her career during the COVID-19 pandemic and completed her LLQP (Life Licence Qualifying Program). Tamara holds a bookkeeping certificate as well as a Simply Account certificate from TRU. She feels that in the financial industry, there is much more positive interaction with clients, and she also enjoys her event management duties in her role.

When not working, Tamara enjoys her time with her family, friends, and her dogs. She loves to head out to her lake house in the Shuswap, go boating, hiking and in the winter, she enjoys cross-country skiing, snowboarding and any outdoor adventure she can find.
