Tara was a true professional to work with. She built a strong sense of community at National Premium. Tara truly cares that people feel valued and does a fantastic job of of building morale and a sense of value among her employees. She is approachable and relatable. I could always come to here with issues and felt that she truly cared about my concerns. I highly recommend Tara for any future opportunities.
