Tammy enjoyed coloring as a child. She was actively involved in 4-H Club and AWANA youth group for five years each. Her first job was at age 12 in Flagstaff, AZ. She participated in many school activities and went to college after high school. Tammy got married at 21 and had two children, but divorced after 12 years of marriage. This was devastating but she remained strong for her family. She is now attending Full Sail University to earn a Bachelor's degree in Graphic Design.
