Tamara Elston graduated from University of Washington, Tacoma in June with a Bachelor of Arts and Sciences and a minor in nonprofit studies. Throughout her academic career at UWT, she consistently made the Dean's List and graduated Magna Cum Laude.
Her hard work is now paying off. Next month, Tamara begins her career in her new home of Oahu, Hawaii. Elston's academic accomplishments landed her a plum training assignment in the Department of the Army. She will begin a two-year training assignment as a human resources internship at Fort Shafter in the Hawaiian Islands. After her internship, she will be assigned to an as-yet undetermined location.
As a civil servant, she will be trained in all aspects of HR administration. Her outstanding scholarship allowed her the opportunity to qualify for the job without an interview.
