Tara grew up in Cordova, a small fishing town in Alaska. Her goal after school is to become a science writer for a top scientific magazine or write science-based books. Of course, this will mean either gaining experience in smaller magazines and or newspapers, or going to Grad school, she is still working that part out. Her interests include kayaking, biking, reading (she is actually a bit of a reading addict), trying new things, writing just about anything, taking long walks, and just enjoying herself. Poetry is her ultimate passion, if she could afford to do it all the time and make money at it she would. Tara have published two of her poems in Kanilehua (Spring 2005) and one in A Celebration of Poets (Spring 2004).
