I’m a marketing professional, screenwriter, filmmaker, and creative living in Louisville, KY. I’m currently looking for new opportunities. If you’d like to inquire about me bringing my talents to your team, please drop me a line!

Hi, it’s Tara

In the third grade I won first place in a lip-syncing contest. I did "Don't Turn Around" by Ace of Base

I am a proud bonus mom to two amazing kiddos.

The easiest way to bribe me is with popcorn or Chinese takeout

As of writing this, I am on day 934 of my Duolingo streak learning français. That owl is both my blessing and my curse.

I was a helicopter mechanic in the National Guard for 6 years. Yes really.

My love affair with a well-organized binder rivals that of Leslie Knope

In my free time I enjoy screenwriting. I’ve written two features (a comedy and a family film), several shorts, and a web series. I’m currently writing a ridiculous holiday rom-com.

I also love filmmaking and directing. In 2019 I was named best director at the 4th Wall Film competition (I also wrote the screenplay that went on to be Best Film).

I make a mean cake. If it weren’t for the unfortunate circumstances of me not being British, I would have a Hollywood handshake by now. (iykyk)

Travel is my love language. I’ve surfed in Costa Rica, hiked Machu Picchu in Peru, kayaked in the Mediterranean sea outside of Marseilles, baked Pastis de Nata in Lisbon, and explored ruins in Micronesia. My favorite city in the world is Montreal (because Poutine). My next stop is Italy.

I am a firm believer in the oxford comma.

Improv is the most fun thing in the world. You should definitely try it. Trust me. 

Most people tag me as an extrovert, but I adore time to myself. I would consider myself a social introvert. Officially, INFJ. My Enneagram number is 8.

Fun facts.
