Tara Ingham and her husband Chad moved from Arizona to Illinois in 1999. She graduated from Illinois State University with a BA in English, and pursued her career as a corporate training consultant for almost 20 years at Verizon, all while raising three children. 

In 2019, Tara graduated with a MA in Organizational Leadership from the Townsend Institute at Concordia University Irvine and earned her certification as an Executive Coach. That year she also left her corporate career to pursue her passion of serving those in need as the Executive Director of Midwest Food Bank in Normal.

Tara and her family reside in Washington, IL, where they enjoy serving at their church and managing the busy household schedule with all three children’s sporting and school activities.
