As a single mom with two school-aged boys, she struggled to balance all the things she wanted and needed to do.?Realizing many in her community faced the same struggles, the idea of bridging the gap by connecting people with extra time to those who needed help was born. ?? She founded My Panda as a way to support other busy women and to help forge community connections.

And remember to be that person for someone else, too - giving is as important as receiving.” ?? ??Connect with Tamara & learn more below. ___________________ Wednesday Women is supported by Commsor ?? - where business and personal success is created by a focus on “go-to-network” and relationship-driven growth.
