 Tara McKenzie Allison, P.E., Esq., Legal Counsel, is a male-to-female (MTF), transgendered woman, who resides in Columbus, Ohio. After graduating from high school in 1981, Tara enlisted in the U.S. Navy and was trained as a nuclear reactor operator. After serving in the enlisted ranks for 2 years, she entered the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, graduated in 1987 with an engineering degree, and was commissioned as a Naval Officer. According to the Naval Academy Alumni Association, she is only the second MTF transgender – to their knowledge – that has graduated from the Naval Academy. After being honorably discharged from the U.S. Navy, Tara pursued a career as a nuclear engineer for over a decade. She is a licensed Professional Engineer in Virginia and Ohio. Tara made the decision to transition over eight years ago. As part of her “transition plan,” she attended law school to change her career path. Tara has always been interested in the law; she felt that the legal community would provide a more accommodating career environment in which to transition. In 2005, Tara graduated from Capital University Law School, passed the Ohio Bar Exam, and was admitted to the Ohio Bar. In 2008, she transitioned on-the-job, while serving as General Counsel/Contracts Manager for a mid-sized, company, in Lexington, KY. She recently relocated back to Columbus, with her partner Stephanie, in order to start her own law practice. Tara serves as a Board Member and Chief Legal Counsel for TransOhio. She is also active in a number of other GLBT organizations. You can email Tara at: tara (at) transohio.org |
