Tara is a member of Peguis First Nation in Treaty One territory, and her family community is the George Gordon First Nation in Treaty Four Territory. She has primarily worked in the child welfare field, starting on the front line and later moving up to the management and executive levels. While working in the field, she obtained her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Social Work. Early in her career, Tara discovered a passion for administrative work, focusing on creating and maintaining efficient and positive work environments that operate within a state of planned and unplanned change. She shaped her career and education by concentrating on positive outcomes and operational and management practices that inform First Nations children, families, communities, and governments. She believes in taking a holistic approach to wellness, and understands that real change happens through meaningful connection. As a trainer, Tara’s philosophy is to bring forth and realize a brighter future for Indigenous communities, families, and children through First Nations led practices and change.
