Tamara Beland, Executive Director

Tamara is native to Central Massachusetts and, after being gone for many years, moved back in 2014. In 2023, she had a stint back in Austin, Texas where she was a Manager for the Long Center, focused on programming live music and arts, but she missed home and came back to Mass to work for Overlook.

Her diverse background has primarily centered on non-profit operations in the arts and human services including NEADS World Class Service Dogs in Princeton, the Austin Children’s Shelter, and the Austin School of Music, leading their Summer Rock Camps.

Tamara is also an accomplished performer and director, currently working with Oxford Community Center teaching classes and producing plays for children. Tamara, aka Ms. T leads most of our camps and classes with a focus on giving the students an opportunity to learn through experience and self-determination. She is thrilled to be back home and digging her hands in the dirt (literally and figuratively) to get things done!
