About Tamika

She also assisted in the production of a video documentary intended for Hawaiian teens at risk of drug addiction or relationship violence. Since moving to the Gulf Coast, she has bolstered the training resources of such companies and not-for-profits as Baptist Health Care, Gulf Power (a Southern Company), Citigroup, and the American Cancer Society through media-rich computer-based training.
