I was born and raised in Vancouver, B.C. but I have lived in the US for the past 11 years. Currently I live in Los Angeles, and before that I was in San Francisco and Seattle. That makes me an official West Coast Girl.

I am an animal advocate, but not a freaky one. I used to own a farm and rescue horses. I'm a vegetarian. I like to ride bikes which offsets the carbon footprint from the traveling I like to do.

I'm very passionate about getting more women into the technology field via my LAdy Tacos Group, as an admin for WITI LA and as a contributor for ForbesWoman.

My tech/digial media learning (DML) startup - Teach Me Stuff - focuses on mentoring and coaching (ping me if you need one or want to be one). Previously I worked at Topspin and Microsoft.

I'm married to Sean Bonner and we have a super cute baby named Ripley Ossm.

Sometimes I do weird things like Cat Workout. And other times I do awesome things like We Are The Doorways and Transmedia.

Namaste. xo @tara
