Tara is a small-town girl from central Pennsylvania, born and raised in Hollidaysburg, PA (Home of the Slinky!). Tara grew up vacationing along the Eastern seaboard every summer and dreamed of living in a warmer climate. After graduating from Shippensburg University with a BA in Speech Communication and Human Studies she worked in corporate America before relocating to the Lowcountry. Tara has lived in Charleston for nearly 10 years and before joining the team at LM Communications in 2012, she was buying radio advertising and worked closely with the 98 Rock and 105.5 The Bridge staff. When the opportunity arose, she accepted a sales position to work for LM Communications directly. “I’m dedicated to delivering exceptional customer service. My favorite aspect of being a Marketing Consultant is the relationships I’ve made with local businesses, charities and organizations. Assisting them in their marketing efforts and brand awareness is something I take seriously. When a client hits their goals, that is a success for me as well!” Tara serves on the Board of Directors for Carolina Children’s Charity and also manages her own small business.
