Tara Roberts, RDH, has been a registered dental hygienist since 2007 after graduating from Collin College in McKinney, Texas. She also holds a Bachelor of Science in Journalism and Public Relations from Texas A&M University. Tara was a clinical hygiene instructor at her alma mater, Collin College, for 7 years. Educating patients is her top priority. Her biggest joy comes from connecting with patients and earning their trust. She is a native Texan, having grown up in a small town in East Texas. Prior to becoming a hygienist, she worked for many years in sports marketing. She is an avid sports fan, especially college football and baseball, and is a loud and proud Texas A&M Aggie. Tara has taken numerous dental mission trips and is very passionate about volunteering. Gardening is her passion outside of dental hygiene, so she also spends time volunteering as a certified Collin County Master Gardener. She lives in Anna, Texas, where she enjoys gardening, tending to her flock of chickens, and loving on her dog.
