Hello Everyone!

      My name is Tamara Owens and I was born and raised in Columbus, Ohio. I’m the fourth child out of six children, so I come from a pretty large family. I have a bachelor's in English from The Ohio State University. Towards the end of my academic career, I decided I wanted to go into the early child care profession. I'm currently researching graduate programs that fit my schedule. So in the meantime, I'm completing courses at CSCC.

         I’ve been working in early childhood for 5 years and I’m currently a program co- director at an independently owned facility.  I truly enjoy working with young children. I work closely with teachers, in all classrooms, to assist with lesson planning, observations, and implementation. I hope to be a more efficient liaison for my teachers to assist them with incorporating more technology within their classrooms. Begin more knowledgeable and being able to provide assistance will help them provide a better/ quality experience for the children and families that we service. My plans for the future, in regards to working with child and families, is to create a non-profit organization that's a resource center for the community (e.g. job training, subsidized/ free child care, family counseling etc.). Time to get this semester rolling!
