As Director of Public Policy and Advocacy and Lynde Fellow at The Center for Community Solutions, Tara oversees policy staff in both Columbus and Cleveland. Her leadership spans research, analysis, and advocacy across priority issue areas, including health, poverty reduction, and maternal health. She has led organizational efforts through multiple state biennial budget cycles, engaging policymakers at local, state, and federal levels.
