Tara Kosmas, MSN, RN, NC-BC, CHSE, SOAR
Life as a burn survivor shaped Tara’s experience and led her to the nursing profession. Tara’s experience spans 21 years and includes burns, academia, peer support and debriefing. In 2020, sixteen days after a global pandemic was declared, Tara began Debriefing the Front Lines. She has since built a team of board certified nurse coaches and together they offer debriefing, sobriety support and education to individuals and healthcare systems. When not championing change, find Tara soaking in the sun, swimming in the gulf, collecting sharks teeth, chasing her animals and tending to her kosmic garden alongside her husband.
