Her Story

About Tamara

Tamara Coleman is a Senior Project Manager with approximately 16 years of experience in the field. She initially pursued engineering in college but switched to information systems to engage more directly with practical work. Coleman discovered her strength as a problem solver, which led her to combine business analysis and project management responsibilities. She earned her PMP certification and became a certified Scrum Master, enabling her to handle cross-functional projects at her company. In her current role, Coleman primarily focuses on project management while continuing some business analysis work, such as writing requirements and prioritizing projects based on deadlines. She values the fast-paced nature of her days, which include checking emails, attending meetings with her PMO team and project stakeholders, and communicating with vendors. Coleman is most proud of the strong business relationships she has built, which foster trust and collaboration to advance projects smoothly. She is a member of the PMI and holds a Master's of Science in Computer Information Systems, earned in 2008. Looking ahead, she aspires to a leadership role, potentially in product ownership, while continuing to solve problems and drive project success.
