She shares how we must embrace the hand of life dealt us to fulfill our purpose and inspire those we serve to do the same. Through stories, humor, science, and practical application, she empowers educators and students to stay true to their unique strengths, talents, and life experiences–to Be REAL.

Tara’s ambition is to lead a culture of innovative change, keep social emotional learning at the heart of our work, and motivate others to become the best they can be, all while staying REAL and yet never reaching a plateau.
