SKILLS
ABOUT TARA E. BROWNE
I lead administrative operations work at Ascentria Care Alliance at the intersection of executive support, governance, and operational design. For years, I have believed that organizations leave talent, insight, and value on the table when administrative professionals are excluded from improvement work. My current work gives me the opportunity to put that belief to the test by leading the transformation of our team from a traditional executive assistant model into a more visible, structured, and strategically aligned Administrative Operations function.Always open to conversations about creative leadership, sustainable collaboration, and new models of community support.
