Many organizations struggle with AI implementation due to limited stakeholder buy-in, unclear utility, and resource misalignment. With 20+ years of experience, I specialize in breaking through these barriers with strategic, results-driven solutions.

I hold advanced certifications from Stanford University (AI in Healthcare Specialization), UC Davis (AI Content Optimization), Oxford University (AI in Financial Services Specialization), University of Maryland (AI in Government), Johns Hopkins University (Trustworthy & Ethical AI and Managing AI Projects: From Strategy to Delivery), University of Michigan (GenAI: Governance, Policy, and Emerging Regulations), and Wharton Business School (AI in Business Specialization). Each credential directly addresses critical challenges: stakeholder engagement, practical utility demonstration, risk management, and responsible deployment.

My focus is building consensus, demonstrating clear value, and creating accessible implementation plans that deliver measurable outcomes. Rather than technical complexity, I prioritize solutions aligned with organizational priorities and optimized for scalable adoption.

My expertise also extends to applying AI to drive business growth across marketing and supply chain operations, such as

* AI-Powered Marketing: Leveraging generative AI to create engaging content, optimize workflows, and deliver personalized customer experiences.

* AI in Supply Chain: Using advanced AI techniques to enhance demand forecasting, optimize inventory management, automate processes, and conduct risk assessments.

I transform complex operational challenges into opportunities for innovation and efficiency, delivering measurable results for my clients.

With over 20 years of diverse business experience, I bring a unique blend of strategic insight, operational expertise, and innovative problem-solving to the table. As a co-owner of Coventry Consulting, focused on healthcare management consulting, I managed business administration functions, including payroll, taxes, recruitment, and business development, while pursuing high-profile opportunities with U.S. government agencies such as FEMA, NASA, and the Department of Health & Human Services. During this time, I successfully responded to RFPs and RFIs, pitching solutions to complex challenges like resource allocation, process efficiency, and workforce optimization. My ability to advise executive level, international business clients, including one of the top oil and gas companies in the world, has led to measurable improvements in executive functioning, operational performance, and long-standing organizational issues. In addition to my entrepreneurial ventures, I have a proven track record of delivering results in corporate environments. As a Program Manager at Wells Fargo Business Real Estate Finance, I spearheaded marketing initiatives that generated $7 million in incremental annual revenue and achieved $950,000 in annual savings through process optimization. My expertise extends to leveraging AI and data-driven insights to enhance business strategies. I hold specialized certifications in AI from Stanford University and UC Davis, with a focus on applying machine learning to solve real-world business challenges. Currently, I am pursuing an AI for Business Specialization certification from the University of Pennsylvania, further solidifying my ability to integrate cutting-edge technologies into business operations. My entrepreneurial spirit is complemented by my ability to lead and innovate.

As a Human Resources Generalist for HSBC Bank USA, I have 5+ years of experience in resume coaching, career roadmap coaching, and performance evaluation advising. I consulted with Senior Directors to develop succession plans for their management staff, established performance goals and metrics for managers, and coached internal employees on how to competitively complete MBA applications, which included resume review and interview prep. As a professional recruiter for HSBC Bank, I focused on partnering with universities such as BYU, UPENN, PSU, UCLA, and more. We strategized to ensure we are filling our open entry and mid-level job positions with undergraduate and MBA graduates from their programs, which included mock-up interviews, resume review panels, and summer internship programs.

Machine Learning/ AI

With certifications from Stanford, UC Davis, and UPenn (in process), I bring a robust understanding of AI and machine learning, coupled with practical experience in applying these technologies to solve real-world business challenges. My Stanford certifications include "AI in Healthcare Specialization," where I mastered the ethical and strategic integration of AI to improve patient care, operational efficiency, and data-driven decision-making. I also completed courses on clinical data mining, machine learning fundamentals, and evaluating AI applications in healthcare, equipping me with the skills to design, build, and critically evaluate AI solutions. These certifications empower me to bridge the gap between technical AI concepts and their practical applications in healthcare and beyond. In addition to my academic credentials, I hold a certification in "Editing and Enhancing AI-Generated Content" from UC Davis, where I honed my ability to refine AI outputs for clarity, inclusivity, and audience alignment. I am also pursuing an "AI for Business Specialization" from the University of Pennsylvania, focusing on deploying AI, machine learning, and big data to revolutionize business operations. My certification expertise also extends to leveraging AI for marketing, where I use generative AI tools to create engaging content, optimize workflows, and enhance personalization strategies.

Excellent College Essay Counselor

Considering how stressful it may be to polish a college essay for applications, I was able to do so with Tarra's personable, excellent support. She walked me through by looking at my essay from a "college admission standpoint". This was the most beneficial for me. She professionally assessed my writing and gave me constructive feedback. We used this to refine and perfect my essay to the "college admissions standards". After a lesson with her, I feel that I have an authentic, cohesive narrative. Tarra has an expertise in creative writing and presentation that is unmatched by any other. Truly recommend!
