Tara graduated from Kentucky Christian University in 1998. A mission trip during her senior year led to a life-changing decision. Upon completion of her language training in Costa Rica, she joined Team Expansion to work in Venezuela. She served there for 7 years before returning to the U.S.
Tara is now responsible for developing a program and facilities on campus designed specifically to promote a commitment to teamwork and problem-resolution among missionary recruits as well as church and business groups. She became certified and is responsible for the promotion and management of this new business with Team Expansion as ministry partners. (DSOTO – Discovery School of The Outdoors).
