Tara is an ABC-certified prosthetist/orthotist at Hanger Clinic in Auburn, Maine. She specializes in lower limb prosthetics and pediatric orthotics. She was introduced to the field while shadowing for physical therapy graduate school where she observed a prosthetic fitting for an individual with bilateral above-knee amputations, which lead her to change career pursuits.

Tara is from New York, moved to Connecticut for graduate school, completed her residency in Maine, and has stayed ever since.

Outside of work, Tara enjoys all things outdoors, especially when she can include her dog, who is an amputee himself.
