Tamara Taylor MSN, APRN, ANP-C
Program Director/Co-Founder
I began my career in health care many years ago as a Patient Care Technician while attending SIUE School of Nursing. After obtaining my BSN, I began working at DePaul Health Center on an Interventional Cardiology floor. While working at DePaul, I obtained my MSN/Adult NP in 2010 from Goldfarb School of Nursing at Barnes Jewish College. Soon after, I began my career as a Cardiovascular Nurse Practitioner. While working as an Nurse Practitioner, I discovered another passion, education. I began working at local schools of nursing in the St. Louis area and truly enjoying the experience. I currently practice as a Nurse Practitioner. I have been employed by numerous healthcare organizations and truly understand the needs of the healthcare industry. I am very excited to share my experiences in the healthcare field with you!

Worked in private health care as a Medical Assistant/front office manager, specializing in medical records, billing and coding and phlebotomy for 10 years. While working in private care, I received my Associate's Degree in Health Administration from the University of Phoenix. After that I moved on to DePaul Health Center as a patient care tech and unit secretary for 7 years, while receiving my Master's Degree in Health Administration from St. Joseph's College of Maine. Currently, I have been working in the department of Otolaryngology for adults and pediatrics at Washington University as a Patient Scheduler II for the past 3 years.
I started my career as a Home Health Aide many years ago. Soon after, I became a Certified Nursing Assistant. I decided to return to school to pursue nursing, which is truly my passion. I took the proper steps to further my education by completing a LPN program at Sanford Brown college. I then completed my ADN at Deaconess College of Nursing and my BSN at Phoenix University. I decided to complete my MSN at Saint Josephs College of Maine and soon after became certified as a Family Nurse Practitioner. In July of 2017, I obtained my Doctorate of Nursing Practice from Chamberlain University and currently practice as an Family Nurse Practitioner. I have worked in many areas of healthcare from nursing homes to hospitals as well as agencies. Nursing is my passion and I look forward to sharing my experience with you!
