Tam is a dedicated medical anthropologist and clinical social work therapist, having received both graduate degrees at Wayne State University. Her journey began in academia where she served as a Research Director on various health studies. Here, Tam honed her skills in research by focusing on social justice issues, ensuring individuals and systems were infused in research designs. Additionally, she served as a Director of Sponsored programs at community action agencies where she designed community mental health programming honoring trauma-informed environments and ensuring trauma-informed care accessibility to those who need it most. Fundraising to support these programs is something she still does. Lastly, Tam’s experience also includes having engaged in community education, traveling throughout Michigan to share vital knowledge on adult abuse and neglect prevention, as well as having worked with University of Michigan medical students teaching them anthropological techniques to better connect them to patients.
