Tamara is the Subject Librarian for Psychology, Cognitive Science, Human Development, and Linguistics at UC San Diego. In 2013, Tamara won the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) Student Paper Award for her paper on living archives, which was subsequently published. This became the basis for the Tell Us How UC It: A Living Archive project. After attending a BGSA and GSA Race Relations Town Hall in April 2016, Tamara believed a living archive could be a way for the library to help support the social movements happening in the UC San Diego student community.
