"Ya hace casi veinte años que tuve la suerte de conocer a Tara cuando trabajábamos juntas en la misma agencia de organización de eventos. Sus habilidades de liderazgo, su templanza y su carisma, llevaron a Tara a ser la directora de la oficina de Madrid. Más tarde, tuvo incluso la valentía de abrir sola la oficina de Lisboa. La trayectoria de Tara es espectacular. Es una verdadera profesional y tiene grandes dotes de organización. Destaca su habilidad para relacionarse con los clientes, la atención que presta al detalle y su gran capacidad para trabajar en equipo y bajo presión. En Tara se puede confiar y me encantan sobre todo su simpatía, su sentido del humor y su capacidad de empatizar y adaptarse a nuevos retos. Tara tiene una gran reputación en el sector que se la ha ganado a pulso. "
