Rolling with the Punches: Meet Tara

0

My name is Tara, and I am a Westchester County mom! I was born and raised in Yonkers, NY and I currently reside in Elmsford, NY. I’m a single mom to two lovely girls. Alyssa, who is a 16-year-old junior in high school and my live-in babysitter. Emma is my sassy 20-month-old who constantly steals my lipstick. Yes, you read that correctly! Life doesn’t always go as planned, and I’m just rolling with the punches.

I’m a full-time medical assistant for NYPMG and I love my job. I have been an MA for over 16 years! However, I am looking to advance my career and I am currently a part-time student at Concordia College in Bronxville, NY. I am on my way to having my bachelor’s degree in healthcare management, so one day, I can be a BOSS. Let’s just say I like to keep my plate full.

I’m a total foodie! I love to eat and try new restaurants and recipes. My Instagram is full of food posts…and selfies. I’m a selfie queen, which annoys my teen. I also love fashion. When I’m not in scrubs, I like to get dolled up, and you will never see me without lipstick or not having my hair done. 

Even though life does get hectic at times, I’m determined to be a fabulous single mom. I am looking forward to getting back into the blogging world after taking a hiatus on my own website and blog taraonthetown. I’m looking forward to meeting and interacting with other moms in the area. I also want to share my story of being a single mom because I know at times it can feel like you are alone, and it’s nice to read something and think… Ok, I’m not the only one. Having a reliable support system is so important, and I’m happy Westchester County Moms Blog is around to provide that. I’m glad to be a part of this team.
