“I have been very fortunate to have the opportunity to work with Tara for over 7 years. During this time, I have witnessed Tara's hard work and dedication to her position, her projects, and the wellbeing of the organization. She has a strong work ethnic and has the ability to work both a collaboratively and independently. As a result of her leadership managing curricula, our supply department ended the year $285K ahead of goal, growing revenue by 30% in one year. The first time our organization has been able to see this much growth and was a huge win. This is one of the many examples that demonstrates Tara's work ethnic and commitment to success. ”
