Bio
John Cummings
I had the pleasure of working with Tara at Hamilton County Department of Job and Family Services. Any time I needed data or had a question about data necessary to complete a project, Tara took the time needed to explain it in an understandable way. Not being a data guru myself, Tara took whatever time necessary to ensure I had what I needed. Her warm and caring way always put me at ease. I knew I was in good hands working alongside Tara.
