Tammy Scully

Tammy was born and raised in Michigan then moved to Texas where she graduated with a Bachelor in Business Administration from LeTourneau University.  Her professional background consisted mostly of sales tax accounting for over 14 years. In 2010, she began stepping to a different beat and landed an English teaching position in Hiroshima, Japan where she spent two years teaching English in private schools, public schools and at an Edutainment organization; Kidzania.  Upon her return to the States in 2012 she started a non-profit; Foster the Journey where she worked youth in residential treatment centers in Austin, Texas. Having only a business background and a big heart she then found herself applying and later being accepted to the University of Michigan School of Social Work to gain more knowledge around working with youth who have experienced trauma to better inform her social work efforts going forward.  Tammy served in Peace Corps Swaziland for two years as part of the Master's International program at the University of Michigan and would not trade that experience for anything because it changed her life drastically and redefined her entire heart for the people she serves. Her favorite quote is "Not till we are lost do we begin to understand ourselves." by Henry David Thoreau.
