Tara Williams

Dr. Tara Williams earned her Doctorate of Philosophy in Synthetic Inorganic Chemistry from the University of Sussex in Falmer, United Kingdom. Dr. Williams is currently a tenured professor at College of the Canyons in Santa Clarita, California, and has been teaching for the last twenty years. She has been working with neurodivergent students across the US since 2010, after noticing that these students were struggling with the transition from K-12 support in their IEP to college, where self-advocacy and identification were required by a system built for the neurotypical. Dr. Williams specializes in executive function coaching, with an emphasis on academics. Work with students includes accommodation management, email and Learning Management System support, course planning and registration, summer school transfer courses, housing, internship and job searching, and many more. This work also includes concepts of Universal Design which helps both neurodiverse and neurotypical students build confidence, advocate for themselves and thrive in school and college. Dr. Williams has also been a speaker at various schools and events for neurodivergence, while also leading professors, educators, and administrators in Professional Development.

Dr. Williams enjoys traveling and has been to over twenty countries, enjoying local cuisine and culture along the way. She has a rescue dog named Benny who keeps her busy walking and telling him “no” when he’s being cheeky! She has also attended close to one hundred live shows and stays active while practicing Muay Thai, and attending spin and yoga classes.
