Youngest detective in the precinct who leads with smarts and wits but is ruled by obligation and pity. Ambitious and intentional, every action and maneuver has a purpose. Nothing gets in her way, except maybe her intense need to prove herself.

No More Holding Water - East New York (Self-Tape) (Performance Video) Quicktime
Sweet and apparently pulled-together. Her competence covers up a deep-seated fatigue related to her family responsibilities. She is cooperative when initially questioned by police but doesn’t tell them the whole story – not by a long shot.

A former professional transplant, Tarra was born and raised in Milwaukee, WI. Her 18+ life, to this point, has been spent in D.C., Maryland, New York, and Los Angeles. As a person and as an artistic being, her device is gravity. People find their grounding with her. Whether family, friends, colleagues, or strangers, she's always been a part of someone or something’s ground level and foundational beveling. She desires to expand stories with her unique fingerprint.
