Background

Born with cerebral palsy, Tara’s journey has been characterised by the pursuit of overcoming barriers and advocating for social inclusion. Leaving her family home at just 18 to enter the workforce, Tara encountered numerous setbacks, adversities, as well as gender and disability prejudices throughout her journey. However, these obstacles only fuelled her resolve to prove her detractors wrong, and her indomitable spirit became her greatest strength.

With a mission to break down barriers and eradicate social exclusion faced by disabled individuals, Tara channelled her own experiences, the experiences of other members of the disabled community and extensive regional research into creating accessible leisure, fitness, and tourism activities.
