Tamara joined Healthnetwork Foundation in 2025, bringing over two decades of experience in nonprofit marketing, client engagement, and philanthropy. She began her career in marketing and communications at the Akron Area YMCA and later transitioned into education philanthropy, holding advancement roles at Julie Billiart Schools and University School in Cleveland. There, she managed major gifts, board relations, community engagement, and events before becoming Director of Admission, where she connected families with exceptional educational opportunities. Most recently, Tamara served at University Hospitals in Cleveland, providing strategic direction for the principal giving program and working closely with donors, clinicians, and the development team to align communication and initiatives.

Throughout her career, Tamara has been driven by a passion for connecting with people and supporting them during life-changing moments—values that align deeply with Healthnetwork’s mission.

A longtime Northeast Ohioan, Tamara is a Miami University alumna and holds a master’s from Kent State. Outside of work, she enjoys traveling and spending time with her husband and two adult sons, trying whatever new things her friends have cooked up (like rowing on the Cuyahoga), watching Cleveland sports, and squeezing in some exercise.

Tamara is proud to support Healthnetwork’s mission to make medicine better for all.
