During the course of her career, Tammy has worked on live award shows such as The Trumpet Awards (biography producer) and The Stellar Music Awards (post production supervisor) and reality based productions (Marvin Sapp Single Dad).

She has managed multi-camera productions as well. What makes her unique is her ability to combine her creative talents as a writer-producer with her attention to details as an editor. She has written for television as well as children’s books. Her first song was recorded in 2012. This award winning executive and CEO holds a degree in Mass Communications with a minor in Business Administration from Middle Tennessee State University.
