Born and raised in New Jersey, Tara moved to Virginia to pursue two degrees from Mary Washington, a B.A. in Geography, and an M.Ed. in Secondary Education. As a pedestrian and person who bikes in the city, Tara strives to encourage others to join in the fun, while advocating for the infrastructure necessary to make the journey safer. She currently transports her kids to school by foot or bike on most days, and is excited that her two kids are sharing in her love of two-wheeled commuting. Tara also loves to garden, and her Jersey roots always get her excited about tomato season. Homegrown tomatoes make the best sauce for pizza on the grill!
