Meet 
Tamara

As a first generation college graduate who grew up in a low-income neighborhood in Providence, Rhode Island, I was conditioned and taught to do much more than to simply strive and survive: I learned to thrive. Thanks to our resourceful, strict paternal grandmother, we were ethically, morally and spiritually rich, and our mantra was, “Education is the key to success!”  I had access to scholarships at the best private schools which prepared me quite well for Wellesley College and the Harvard University Graduate School of Education (HGSE).

​

Teachers, civic and spiritual leaders, postsecondary administrators and professors were outstanding positive role models in my life who inspired me to become an educator. I chose a career as a college and university administrator and instructor because it became clear to me in college that my calling, my purpose, my raison d’etre  (reason for being) was and still is to facilitate and provide education, career and professional opportunities for the next generation of leaders.

TSNash Consulting, LLC combines my professional expertise and personal interests, providing essential autonomy and independence. Working remotely just before we were informed of the pandemic offered a golden opportunity for reprioritization and reflection, resulting in the book that I have finally written. The 2022 return to the DC metro area is a response to my yearning for closer proximity to family and friends in the Northeast. I welcome the blessings of the next phase of my amazing journey!
