Tammy earned her bachelor’s degree from the University of Minnesota, specializing in business with an emphasis in marketing and psychology. After settling in Fountain Hills in 2005, she quickly became engrossed in volunteering for the local schools – site councils, parent advisory boards, team mom, Falcon store, Falcon Fiesta and more.

Her favorite impact at FHUSD was raising funds through Adopt-A-Falcon, where local business members were paired with student-athletes to rally around local students and show their community support.

She has also served with the Strategic Planning Advisory Commission, Vision Fountain Hills, was president of the Fountain Hills Cultural and Civic Association (I Love Fountain Hills) and helped launch Living Fountain Ministries in 2014 and has been on the board ever since.

More recently she graduated from the Leadership Academy, joined the Chamber of Commerce staff, was seated on the Sanitary District Board in January 2021 and in 2023 was hired as executive director of the Protect Our Youth Drug Prevention Coalition after being named to its board.

She and her husband Wayne raised two daughters in the community.
