Tara is a speaker, teacher, and writer, working at the intersection of theology and semiotics for the Church.

Her work focuses on how faith is not only taught through words, but formed through practices, structures, and shared life. She helps churches and nonprofits pay attention to what their systems are already communicating and how those signals shape belief, belonging, and integrity over time.

She is a doctoral researcher who has spent three years studying with Dr. Leonard Sweet. His mentorship has inspired her to explores how meaning is carried not just in stated theology, but in the images, stories, and symbols around us. She is especially interested in how unexamined structures can quietly form cultures that drift from the values they profess, and how faithful formation requires both personal discipleship and communal discernment.

As a public speaker, Tara works with conferences, leadership teams, and faith based organizations to translate complex ideas into accessible language that invites reflection rather than defensiveness. Her approach is pastoral and thoughtful, shaped by years of ministry leadership, teaching, and research.

As a teacher, she designs courses and workshops that help leaders and students learn how to read their own communities more carefully. Drawing from Scripture, theology, and semiotics, she guides participants to notice how meaning is transmitted through habit, ritual, power dynamics, and organizational life.

As a writer, her work explores faithfulness in a time of exhaustion, platform pressure, and institutional fragility. Tara writes for leaders who love the Church and want to tend it with honesty, humility, and hope.

She believes formation is always happening. The question is whether we are paying attention.
