Tara is our newest-but-oldest ("vintage," if you please) CSR. Born in Indiana many moons ago, her family quickly left for the South. She grew up in Louisiana bayous for several years, then hopped over to Disney's backyard and lived the next 20+ years amid Florida lakes and orange groves. While there, she worked a short stint as a vet tech at an incredible little clinic where she encountered hyacinth macaws, ospreys, kookaburras, African hornbills, bears, and tigers! The arrival of her son motivated her to trade in hustle-and-bustle for the vast peacefulness of Alaska. After 10+ years in the human medical field, she's returned home to veterinary medicine, this time in client service, though she still can't keep her hands off all the pets! She's currently momma to Zelda, a bull terrier; Rougarou, a Lykoi; Atticus, a rescue kitty who chose her; and Murdoch, a Rottie. But what she really wants is a pet gator!
