A resident of Belchertown for the past 30 years, Tasha is raising her two girls, Kimberly (18) and Lauren (13) in a community she calls home. Her third "child" is a 4 yr old Shi-Tzu named Sadie. As the girls have gotten older, it has allowed her to volunteer more of her time. Seeing the amazing things that were being accomplished by BARC, she started volunteering and attending the monthly meetings. She loves animals and the comfort and joy they bring to people's lives. Tasha received her Bachelors Degree in Finance from Bay Path University two years ago and is employed by a Minneapolis based software company as well as an Independent Consultant for Arbonne. She looks forward to working with BARC and the community to help the animals in need.
