Feeling stuck in your career—or wondering if you even have one worth growing? You’re not alone. I work with high-potential professionals who are tired of winging it and ready to build something real. If you've ever thought, "I just need someone to guide me through this," you're in the right place.

I specialize in helping individuals leverage the experience they already have and reposition it into the high-demand world of project management. You don’t need to start from scratch—you need the right framework, the right mindset, and a supportive community to help you get there. I’ll show you how to translate your existing strengths into project leadership skills that get noticed, respected, and paid accordingly.

Your experience isn’t random—it’s a roadmap.

My journey...

1999-2003

Where it all started
Graduated from Xavier University with a degree in Mass Communications and started my career in leadership, communication, and impact.

2004-2009

2010

2012

Owned My Own Mortgage Company
As a mortgage broker and business owner, I helped clients secure over $4.5 Million in residential loans annually. This was my crash course in managing people, paperwork, pressure—and profits.

Big Impact at Ericsson
I managed over $150 Million in wireless infrastructure projects, led teams across five states, and became a SAP Super-User. I earned national recognition for helping Ericsson reach $1Billion in revenue and was known for turning complex tech into clear results.

Led Federal Government Projects at General Services Administration
Worked with agencies; Dept of Veterans Affairs, Dept of Defense (Army), Dept of Interior DOI, and Homeland Security, etc. managing IT infrastructure and software projects up to $15M. I was the go-to for planning, executing, and closing projects that really mattered.

Earned My PMP Certification
With my PMP under my belt, I stepped into bigger roles with bigger stakes—combining strategy, structure, and leadership to drive results.

2015

Major Wins at Delta Air Lines
At Delta, I helped launch two subsidiaries (Delta Material Services & Delta Flight Products), managing a $13.7M IT project with teams across the U.S. and India. From building pricing systems to designing IT infrastructure—I made sure everything ran like a well-oiled machine.

2016

Started My Own Consulting Firm
I launched Tamara McLemore Enterprises to help professionals break into Project Management and pass the PMP Exam—often in 30 days or less.
