Presenter

Tamara Rodgers is the NSW Premier’s Reading Challenge Officer, with extensive experience as both a Teacher librarian and a high school English teacher. She has been obsessed with stories from a very young age and loves the opportunity that books provide to challenge ideas, create connections, and explore other worlds. From a not-quite-so-young age she has also been obsessed with social media, and values the opportunities it provides to facilitate authentic engagement and connection between people, wherever they may be. She uses social media personally and professionally, and can quickly turn just about any social media post into one related to stories, no matter how tangentially. She TikToks, but her dancing is bad – don’t judge.
