Tamara Whitehorn

Tamara enjoys community outreach that connects individuals with resources or services that can help make a difference in their lives. Here at HLM that looks like connecting community members with audience testing about health and science materials so their voices can be heard, and needs addressed. The importance of clear health information is what brought Tamara to HLM, but the community outreach, focus on underserved communities, and prioritizing equity, is what really drew her in.

Tamara's current role at HLM is two-fold. As part of the Clearly Communicating Clinical Trials (C3T) team, she supports HLM's audience testing program through partnership development and community outreach, assisting with interviews and focus groups, maintaining program data, and writing reports. As a part of the Business team Tamara provides assistance with grant management, data evaluation, system development, and coordinating project timelines.

Prior to joining HLM, Tamara created and managed community coalitions that supported youth development. Forever the connection between people and their needs, she worked to bring social service providers together to effectively support underserved communities with education, health, and job training resources and services. She has also managed federal and private grants — another expertise she brings to our business and program teams.

Tamara graduated from Fontbonne University with a Master’s in Management and Leadership (MML).
