Meet Tammy, a lover of travel and culture at an early age. As a young teenager, her father took her into the jungles of Mexico to experience Mayan ruins. It was a formative experience for her and greatly shaped her path forward. She graduated with a degree in anthropology, with minors in both physical and cultural anthropology. During the summers, she traveled and worked in the Alaskan salmon processing industries, on cattle ranches, farms, quality control labs, and restaurants. After marrying her college boyfriend and getting SCUBA certified, they started exploring underwater worlds in Fiji, Micronesia, Ecuador, Hawaii, Bonaire, and the kelp forests of Northern California, adding Egypt to the list last summer! Tammy continues to explore her relationship with water and will complete her first cold water training with a certified Wim Hof instructor in February. 

Food naturally developed into a topic of  love and curiosity that paired well with travel. Tammy worked as a private chef for families in Silicon Valley for five years. She went on to learn the craft of chocolate and did an apprenticeship with a top ranking chocolatier. After serving as a childbirth doula for six years, Tammy and her husband had two daughters. Tammy has been networking with home and worldschooling families for the past 13 years. She finds great joy in spending time with teenagers; offering encouragement, time, and space for them to explore their curiosities.
