Tara Criscuolo (she/her)

Hi there! I’m Tara Criscuolo, a brand marketer; mental health educator; and disordered eating speaker, writer, and resource provider based in Portland, OR. I've recovered from an eating disorder, and my healing journey — paired with the loss of a close friend to suicide — spurred my passion for normalizing mental health, dismantling diet culture, and creating a world that's both equitable and safe. 

​

I kicked off my marketing career at the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. After four years of working to save lives and bring hope to those affected by suicide, I moved from New Jersey to Oregon to spearhead marketing for Girls Inc. of the Pacific Northwest. I then took a four-year non-profit hiatus but have since joined Project HEAL — the only national nonprofit dedicated to removing systemic, financial, and healthcare barriers to eating disorder treatment — to lead marketing and development.

​

When I'm not working, I spend my time giving school-based mental health presentations for NAMI Multnomah; compiling resources for those struggling with disordered eating; reading (join my Literary Itinerary Challenge!); hiking; playing softball; and snuggling my rescue pup Mazie.

​

I'd love to chat about opportunities in:

• Values-based marketing

• Mental health and disordered eating speaking or writing

 

My portfolios can be found at the links above, and details about my experience and skillsets are available on LinkedIn. Thank you for stopping by!
