Tara-Nicole is a disabled American actress who graduated High School, with honors, at the age of 14. At 15, she had already won 5 Telly Awards for her writing and directing.

At 16 she had written and directed 6 short films, 2 web shows and her work had shown at over 140 film festivals both Nationally and Internationally. By age 18, her director/producer credits included 7 short films and 2 web series.

Tara's films have shown at the iconic Egyptian Theater and the TCL Chinese Theater, in Hollywood, on cable television, in schools and in several different countries.

You may know Tara as "Tara Cosplay" quirky co-host of the shows #Nerdtabulous and #Adorkable,but Tara-Nicole began acting, when she was just a little girl.When Tara was just 4 years old, she had small part in a feature film. As a child actress, Tara was best known for her amazingly quick memory and her ability to cry on cue.She has appeared in films, commercials, videos and TV projects.

When she was 17, mystery health issues that had followed her all her life, became very present. After extensive testing, Tara was diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, Hashimoto's, Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome, ADHD, Autism, Scoliosis, Fibromyalgia and additional conditions.

She is an ambulatory wheelchair user, which means sometimes she needs a wheelchair or cane and sometimes she doesn't- depending on the severity of any one of her conditions that day. It's what's known as a "dynamic disability." A dynamic disability changes in severity from day to day, moment to moment, hour to hour. Because of the challenges Tara has experienced as a disabled person and artist, she has become an outspoken advocate of disability rights.

As a member of a writing family, Tara-Nicole began writing children's books at a young age. She has 3 times won the prestigious Young Author's contest. When just 11 years old, she branched out & wrote a screenplay entitled, "My Name Is...Anna", which is the film that started her career as an independent filmmaker and it has also been used by eating disorder treatment centers, which was Tara's goal when making the film.

At the age of 14, she signed her first distribution deal for one of her films, "Sybling Rivalry" which is a dark, horror comedy.

Tara-Nicole is also a former All-Star cheerleader and a life long Girl Scout. She is the recipient of the meritorious Silver Award in Girl Scouting, The Corlin National Community Service Award and National Community Service awards from NAM & ACP.

In addition to acting & cosplaying, Tara is also an artist and created the brand, "Magickal Stuff."

In her spare time, Tara-Nicole loves amusement parks and is crazy about Japanese Anime.
