about

Hello, I'm Tara

For over a decade I have proactively worked in numerous roles as a communication professional. I am experienced working on marketing, advertising, entertainment, and live event productions, collaborating with multicultural teams globally.

As a teenager, I was scouted for modeling and learned this was an opportunity that could enable me to work abroad. Greatly intrigued, I decided to pursue to it. Ultimately, I went on to self-manage my own international career which spanned four continents.

Utilizing my experience, branding, communication, and management skills, I decided to become an entrepreneur. I founded a model management organization, Independent Management, in order to help other models have life-changing experiences like I had. I scouted, developed, marketed, and managed up and coming models with the collaboration of my network, which expanded everyday.

As an actor, I communicated my client's messages through my interpretation and performance of their scripts for television commercial, music video, short films, feature films, digital media, and social media productions...

My work in photography continues as I have become an experienced project manager, producer, creative director, and photographer, learning from all of my associates throughout my multifaceted career.

My reputation for being an innovative and detail-oriented professional brought me opportunities to expand into television, film, commercial, web, social media and digital media marketing video projects as a production coordinator, wardrobe stylist, costumer, props builder, art director and producer.

Studying at Westfield State University offered me wonderful opportunities to learn and create:

- Contributing as a journalist, photographer, photo editor, and editor in chief to our digital school paper, The Westfield Voice

- Concept, strategize, research, write, produce, and direct my first independent ultra short film I Never Saw the Fire Hydrant, documentary film The Importance of Female Filmmakers, and professional autobiographical series TW Creative

- Transcribe a novel into a screenplay

- Conduct multiple interviews

- Research, write scripts, and promote Pine Hill Cemetery's fundraising walking tour for my internship

- and so much more...

I'm proud to have earned my Bachelor of Arts in Communication with a minor in Film Summa Cum Laude with the class of 2024!

As an excellent listener she takes direction well and executes creative concepts in a timely manner while ensuring that quality and attention to detail are never sacrificed.
