Tammy has an extensive history in energy efficiency, having worked deeply on energy efficiency program design and evaluation. Prior to being elected to the City Council, she worked with the City of Albuquerque on numerous projects, including funding and implementing low-income energy efficiency retrofits in disadvantaged neighborhoods, updating the city’s Energy Conservation Code, developing coordinated positions on energy and transportation cases at the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission, and managing the Mayor’s Energy Challenge which helps small businesses reduce their energy burden and environmental impacts.
Tammy is the Founder and President of Positive Links, a nonprofit organization dedicated to educating the public about The Link between Animal Abuse and Human Violence and providing training to domestic violence workers, social workers, animal control officers, and others about this issue. She organizes the annual New Mexico Conference on The Link between Animal Abuse and Human Violence and provides training on The Link statewide. She’s provided training on The Link to City of Albuquerque Animal Care & Control officers, Albuquerque Police Officers, and volunteers with the City’s Senior Affairs Department. She dedicates time to legislative efforts to increase the protection of the environment and animal rights and was instrumental in the passage of ordinances in Boulder and Estes Park, CO that prohibit the exhibition of wild and exotic animals as well as legislation to create New Mexico’s Link Awareness Day.
Tammy lives with her partner Paul and their furry and feathered kids – Frida (16-year-old mutt), Mister Pickle (12-year-old mutt), Frijolito (11-year-old mutt), Cinderella (9-year-old mutt), and Mr. T (69-year-old parrot) - in Albuquerque.
