About

I’m Tara, nice to meet you.

I’ve been covering lifestyle topics – including home, food, design, DIY, real estate, wellness, and entertainment – for over a decade. I can run a newsroom, craft a must-click headline, put together an editorial calendar, and copyedit with the best of them. I’m well-versed in SEO, social media, and commerce content and strategy.

Before my eight years on Apartment Therapy’s editorial team, I was a licensed real estate agent in Massachusetts, managing editor of online DIY magazine Shoestring, and a digital content consultant specializing in SEO, email, and social media for startups and small businesses.

I was cofounder of the Boston Food Swap, a community-based non-profit that encouraged locals to meet their neighbors and share their homemade, homegrown, and foraged goods.

In my downtime, I enjoy vintage shopping, travel, and squeezing as much color, art, and books into my South End home as space will allow.
