Howdy! My name is Tara McLoughlin and I am a rising junior at the University of Dayton. I was born and raised in San Antonio, Texas before deciding to move to Ohio to pursue a degree in Communications Management and Spanish. I spent this past semester living in Madrid and was fortunate enough to visit many different countries. My favorite was Switzerland since it felt so close to Colorado and the people were just as kind! At the University of Dayton, I can get my masters in Communications Management and a certificate in nonprofit management which is my goal. I have always loved serving both hands-on and behind the scenes, and I have a passion for nonprofits; that is why this opportunity to become a part of the CCHfH team is a dream come true for me! I usually like to spend my time driving in the mountains listening to my favorite music, going on hikes, keeping up with sports, or spending time with friends or family. I love the focus of Habitat for Humanity and am beyond excited to get to share in their mission and help Chaffee County this summer through PR and Marketing. I hope for a great summer here in BV where I get to aid the community in promoting and executing a successful Mac and Cheese Bake-Off! I am thrilled for this summer and all I hope to learn and experience in Colorado. If you don’t find me at work, I will most likely be on a hike with my sister and her adorable dog who lives in Leadville nearby; or exploring the downtown of Buena Vista with its countless number of coffee shops!
