Working with children of all abilities has been a lifelong passion for Tara. Early in her career, she spent time in after-school programs and summer camps supporting children with disabilities. She later moved into the professional liability insurance industry, where she spent a decade in underwriting and management roles. Tara’s path shifted after the birth of her daughter Kate, who experienced a hypoxic event at birth and was later
diagnosed with cerebral palsy. Like many parents, Tara found herself navigating a complex world of traditional and alternative therapies in search of the best support for her child. That search led her to NAPA in 2016, when she traveled with her family to Los Angeles for Kate’s first intensive therapy program. Tara recalls, “I knew immediately that I had found the right place for Kate. The expertise, therapies, knowledge, and community at NAPA is unlike anything I had experienced before”. Shortly after, Tara joined NAPA as the General Manager of the Boston clinic, helping to launch and grow the center with a deep appreciation for the families and therapists who make NAPA what it is. She now serves as Director of Growth and Operations, supporting strategic planning, operational systems, and clinic development across all NAPA locations.Now based in Western Massachusetts, Tara continues to support teams remotely while staying connected to the mission that brought her to NAPA as a parent.
