Hi, I'm Tara. 

Born and raised in Kentucky, I've lived on both coasts, but currently reside in New York City.

I am currently the Director of Digital and Social Media at Paramount where I oversee the marketing social strategy for CBS Entertainment shows: NCIS franchise, FBI, CIA, America’s Culinary Cup, CBS Media Ventures: Jeopardy!, Wheel of Fortune, Entertainment Tonight, The Drew Barrymore Show, and 200+ affiliates, driving growth, engagement, and viewership across social, linear, and streaming.

I've dabbled in television, magazines, and newspapers, but in true millennial fashion, I believe social media is where the future of journalism resides. I have the ethics and training of an old school journalist, but the mindset of a digital techie working to connect the heart and the soul of the internet. 

When I'm not strategizing around the latest social platform algorithm, you can usually find me at the dog park with my rescue dog Leo. 

If you'd like, you can follow my city existence on Twitter, or if you prefer pictures, Instagram. If professional highlights are more your forte, connect with me on LinkedIn.
