Tamra Stermer:  

Life's been an adventure. Everyone has their story, and I've been encouraged to write a biography, hehe. Minimally perhaps some short stories. I was married for 35 years to my high school sweetie until we parted in 2012. During that time some highlights included, raising 2 awesome children, being a pioneer in my field of Dental Hygiene, International Persian Cat breeder/exhibitor, Baseball,Football,Softball and Dance super mom. Personal growth mentor in holistic therapies and alternative health modalities. Later I was a Horse Trainer/coach, Real Estate Broker, and Dental Hygienist (all at the same time). Travels included Europe, Brazil, and most of the United States. I lounged in nearby Bagby and Brientenbush hotsprings, met people from all nations and learned I enjoyed philosophy, and mentoring others to fulfill goals. I've had the priviledge to build my dream Equine center only to loose it all in the 2008 economic down turn. Which took me to work on the North Slope of Alaska. Barrow is an Inupiat Village with numerous outlying Bush villages. I worked 230-260 hours a month in clinic while also creating and implemented dental prevention programs. I expanded my training in Grant writing, Oral health impact studies and native culture. These In combination with expanded clinical skills allowed me to be granted the 1st Collaborative agreement for RDH's in Alaska. The local health care program refused to collaborate with the approved but innovative practice, so, I took a position in Anchorage. Loved my work, friends...Expand for more
