As a visual storyteller, Tara seeks out opportunities to spotlight social justice content, amplifying voices of survivors and activists.  While writing and directing for the series Vanity Fair Confidential, her pieces investigated cases of violence against women, the opioid epidemic, and sex trafficking.  In 2020, Tara joined the post-production team of Netflix’s hit series Crime Scene: The Vanishing at the Cecil Hotel by veteran filmmaker Joe Berlinger.
