Tara was born and raised in New York, where her parents (especially her dad) shared their love of animals with her. As a little girl, she would try to fix every bird's broken wing, bring home every stray (or a neighbor's loose dog from their yard) and has owned animals her whole life. When Tara isn't running around the practice, she is spending quality time with her family and cats. Tara also enjoys getting in as much time at the beach as possible.
