About Tara

I wanted to become a caregiver because after my mom fell ill from cancer, there was so much medically that I did not understand. So I became an E.M.T and learned more about how to care for someone in need. I have always been a compassionate and caring person, I just wanted to know more medically. I like being able to make a difference in someone's life, anything I can do to make it easier or more enjoyable makes me happy. I became an E.M.T and attended fire academy, I then volunteered for my local fire department for more than a year. I am a 254 year old female. I am a proud mommy to be. In my spare time I really enjoy working out and going on adventures. I truly know the meaning of making life worth living.
