Born in Port Au Prince, Haiti, Tamara Charles came to the US at the age of 5 and was raised in Lynn, MA and Brooklyn, NY. She is the eldest sibling with four sisters and two brothers whom she helped to care for while her parents worked to make ends meet. As an adult, she worked hard to further her education and obtained an Associate's degree in 2011 from Marian Court College, a Bachelor's degree in Business with a minor in Healthcare Management in 2014. She is currently working on her MBA in Health and Human Services with a minor in non-profit organization from Strayer University.
