Motivator | Leader | Mother | Unstoppable.
About Doctor Tara
Tara knows what it means to turn challenges into fuel. Once a little girl who couldn’t read in second grade because of dyslexia, she refused to let that define her. Today, she’s a Doctor of Physical Therapy, not once, but three times over. A single mother of three beautiful children, Tara embodies resilience, perseverance, and determination.
Her story isn’t just about hard work. It’s about proving that action speaks louder than words. Or, as she says:
“My actions tell the story, follow the footprints.”
Tara has lived what she teaches. She knows what it’s like to feel defeated, to have the odds stacked against you, and to rise anyway. And now, she’s on a mission to help students and audiences everywhere discover their own inner strength.

Speaking Topics
Perseverance & Resilience
Life doesn’t always play fair, but success belongs to those who refuse to quit. In this talk, Tara shares how to keep moving forward when every obstacle is telling you to stop. Drawing from her own experiences of single motherhood, career challenges, and personal setbacks, she equips audiences with practical tools to turn setbacks into stepping stones. Attendees leave with renewed energy, perspective, and the courage to persevere when things feel impossible.
Choices & Consequences
Every decision carries weight. Tara brings raw, honest insight to young audiences and professionals alike about the power of choices and how they shape our futures. From the discipline required to succeed in academics and athletics, to the responsibility of personal integrity, Tara breaks down how small daily decisions compound into life-changing outcomes. This session leaves audiences more accountable, motivated, and ready to make intentional moves toward success.
Mental Strength & Mindset
Fear, anxiety, and doubt are battles we all fight, but victory begins in the mind. Tara walks audiences through how to train mental toughness just like a muscle: through daily habits, focus, and a belief in one’s own potential. She shares strategies she used to overcome self-doubt and challenges, empowering listeners to rewrite their inner narrative and step into confidence. Attendees will leave with mindset tools they can use immediately in school, work, and life.
From Struggles to Success
From being unable to read in the second grade due to dyslexia to earning not one, but three doctorate degrees, Tara’s journey is living proof that your past does not define your future. This keynote is deeply personal, raw, and inspiring, showing how resilience, hard work, and faith can transform even the hardest struggles into powerful victories. Listeners walk away encouraged that no matter their starting point, success is always possible.
Overcoming Peer Pressure
Students often feel the pressure to fit in, even when it means going against their values or goals. In this talk, Tara empowers young people to recognize their worth, make confident choices, and resist the urge to compromise just to be accepted. With relatable stories and practical tools, she shows teens that true strength is found in standing firm, even if it means standing alone.
Standing Strong Against Bullying
Bullying, whether in person or online, can leave students feeling isolated, anxious, and powerless. Tara tackles this tough issue head-on, teaching teens how to recognize bullying, respond with resilience, and lean on safe support systems. She also highlights the power of being an upstander, not a bystander, so students learn how to create a culture of kindness and courage in their schools.
