Tara's Story
On my way to college right out of Freedom, I had a surprise pregnancy... which completely changed my world.
I was a bio-chem major that first year and planned to go into research in either virology or genetics (inspired by Dr. Mitrovich). Motherhood and college didn't mix well for me... so I took some time off, had another child and waffled back and forth between college and working and staying home for the next several years.
Fast Forward to now... I just graduated with my Master's in app...Expand for more
lied developmental psych from Pitt.
I am working in research (but not in genetics or virology) at Western Psych. I am also a behavior specialist and mobile therapist working with kids with behavioral and developmental disorders.
My kids are all grown up and we enjoy being outdoors- hiking, kayaking, camping. I just started a garden and have had lots of fun with that and am already planning next year's.
I am also (inspired by Miss Ross!) still writing and hope to publish a novel some day!
