Tamara is a skilled researcher with an amazing talent for building trust with respondents in even the most compromising situations. An anthropologist by training, she is currently completing her PhD at the London School of Economics.

Tamara has a confident ability to challenge the assumptions of those she is working with – both clients and colleagues – helping everyone to intelligently re-evaluate the assumptions they hold and ultimately better understand people. Tamara is a natural linguist, which is no surprise given her German/American background and academic work in Latin America. In her downtime Tamara dances with the London School of Samba, is learning to play the Peruvian boxdrum, and runs the organisation Heart of Yapatera, an inclusive health and exercise education project in Peru.
