Tamara Mitchell-Davis has been with the Hartford Public School System since 2011. In her role as District Business Partnership Coordinator, Mrs. Mitchell-Davis manages and coordinates the work of designing and implementing a district wide internship program that supports all areas of work-based learning. As Coordinator, she assists schools with recruiting, evaluating, preparing, and enrolling students for internship opportunities within the community.

"I am a product of the environment in which I was born, raised, and currently reside," Mrs. Mitchell-Davis replied regarding how she ended up working in the school system. "I want young adults to understand that their environment does not determine their destiny. Somehow, some way, they must draw strength and motivation from wanting to do better and being the change the world needs to see. It can be hard striving to attain something you have no clue about but anything worth having is worth fighting for. It is imperative that when you lack support you must learn to encourage yourself. If I can help someone along the way, than my purpose is being fulfilled. My daughters are my inspiration and I wholeheartedly believe that knowledge is power. Therefore, I try my best to encourage others who cross my path to maximize their potential."

Mrs. Mitchell-Davis is a Connecticut Community College System Minority Fellow graduate, an MBA graduate, holds a Project Management Certification and an 085 Business Administrator certificate from the State of Connecticut, is a member of Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society, a member of a local Advisory Board, a volunteer for Juvenile Diabetes Foundation, and a mentor.
