Always having an interest in the marine environment, Tamara moved to Halifax to attend Dalhousie University where she acquired a BSc in Marine Biology/Environmental Science and a Master of Marine Management. A curiosity for ocean technology then led her to complete the NSCC Ocean Technology program.
Tamara joined the RIU in the spring of 2022 as a field technician after previously working for MEOPAR. She will maintain and operate high frequency radar systems (CODAR) and assist with additional field logistics and operations.
