Below you can see where I've worked, gone to school, and how to contact me, but I think the more important things are who I am and the things I've created. If you're reading this and reach out to me, there's a 99.9% chance I'll respond. I'm a big proponent of ghosting coming to an end.
Here's how to reach me the fastest: tamara.e.yakov@gmail.com or on LinkedIn.
