Tamara Cox
Executive Director
Tami was born in the old Mayo Hospital and raised in Dover-Foxcroft. She raised three wonderful children, and in 2012, she left Maine to marry her high school sweetheart in Tasmania, Australia, adding four more adult children to the mix. After several years of living down under, Tami and Emery moved back to Dover-Foxcroft. She brings a background in operations management, publishing, and creative advertising and graphic design. Tami is fully aware of how fortunate she is to live and work in the Maine Highlands region with so many creative and thoughtful people.

She earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing in 2005 from the University of Pennsylvania and her Bachelor of Arts in English in 1997 from the University of Delaware. Tara is grateful today to be integrating her interests and passion through living and working in the Maine Highlands region.
