Most recently, she taught psychology and human services courses at the University of Phoenix and at Forsyth and Guilford Technical Community Colleges. She served as a stress management consultant and taught workshops on stress management for multiple departments and divisions within Wake Forest University and Wake Forest University Baptist Health Center. Tami worked as a human resources coordinator for the University of Texas at Dallas, and previously served as the Marketing & Public Relations Director for an area nonprofit. Tami was sent to her first yoga class as a final attempt at pain management before a recommended hip replacement at 30 years old. There she found pain relief, came off of all prescription pain medications, avoided surgery, and found a new love in life!
