About

Hello, I'm Tara

I have enjoyed working in a variety of roles with diverse teams globally leveraging various media to reach target audiences effectively. Stepping back from my career during the COVID-19 lockdowns gave me the opportunity to re-evaluate who I am, what motivates me, the value I bring, my passion and purpose. Utilizing this time to resume my studies, I completed my BA in Communication and a minor in Film with honors in 2024. I am seeking opportunities to utilize my professional experience, education, and skills in media arts and analysis to help drive progress in the critical conversations shaping the 21st century.

More about my professional experience...

Film Production

I have worked as a Producer, Production Coordinator, Art Director, Wardrobe Stylist, Reel Editor, Props Master and Builder for Television Commercials, Series, Industrial, Web and Social Media Productions in New York City and Atlanta, GA, the "Hollywood of the south".

Photo Production

After almost a decade working in various roles on photography sets worldwide, I began working as a Creative Director, Producer, Coordinator, Stylist, and Photo Retoucher collaboratively with photographers throughout Europe, the Caribbean, and the United States. In 2012, I began working as a photographer with my own clients.

Onscreen

My work as an Actor in commercials, a music video, and films on sets in Singapore, New York, Kuala Lumpur, Seneca, and Atlanta enabled me to observe countless creative professionals and a variety of production styles.

Entrepreneur

After many years of traveling, learning, and growing throughout my adventures working onscreen, I wanted to help other young women to have these opportunities that were so meaningful to me. In 2010, I founded Independent Management in New York City to nurture and help guide other young women to break into the international modeling industry.

On Camera

As a model I enjoyed working with a great number of professional creative teams on a wide variety of projects on sets across four continents. I soon began to self-manage my modeling career so that I could create my own opportunities to experience the world as a nomad.
