Tara is a second year Master's student in the Community and Regional Planning (CRP) Program where she focuses on community development. She was attracted to the CRP program at UNM because of the opportunity it offers to work with indigenous communities and methodologies. Tara's research interests revolve around poverty, inequality, resilience, and climate justice. In her work with the Evaluation Lab, Tara is currently partnered with Breath of My Heart Birthplace. After UNM, she plans to work in public policy for a few years before pursuing a doctorate in Sociology.
