About Tamara Watson

I am a proven leader with several years of Law Enforcement experience. I have served as the lead in multiple fields and functions throughout my career. My leadership has been highlighted through high level evaluations and assignments at both the state and local levels. These assignments include Indiana State Police undercover narcotics detective, lobbyist, Attorney General\'s Task Force. After leaving law enforcement I changed career paths into the power and energy field. I was promoted to site manager for Newpark and managed a multi million dollar budget and crews who worked across five states. I am passionate about empowering my local communities and travel the state teaching firearms and ladies self defense classes. I am a protocol officer managing the Umbarger Conference Center at Indiana Army National Guard Camp Atterbury Joint Maneuver Training Center.

Experience

1. Firearms Instructor

   National Rifle Association

   Apr 2014 — Present

   I am certified to teach the basic pistol, rifle, and shotgun courses along with the inside and outside the home personal protection courses developed by the NRA. I am passionate about victim avoidance for women in today\'s world, and therefore offer a short two hour block of instruction to women who have never handled a gun and have the desire to learn about a gun. I, along with my training team, will be offering these courses several times a year. But as a woman in an ever increasingly violent society, I feel my first responsibility is to all those women who have, in the past, been afraid to ask and learn.
