Sandra B. Tate hails from Camberwell, London, England but spent much of her childhood in sunny Montego Bay, Jamaica. She attended City and East London College in Great Britain and moved to New York City in 1984. Here she studied communications and psychology in the heart of Manhattan, at Hunter College. While attending Hunter, Ms. Tate became a SEEK peer mentor and a member of the SEEK Provost Committee. It was here that her love for mentoring and sharing open dialogue to solve important, personal issues solidified, leading her to become, as she describes it, a "Helper of Womankind".

Sandra launched herself with much gusto into the world of work. Shortly after graduating in 1990, she began working as a special assistant to New York State Senator David Paterson. She later held executive assistant positions with the New York Public Library, Toshiba America, Inc. and Ann Taylor. Following this, Ms. Tate graduated to a role as an information technology consultant for both McKinsey & Co. and Arthur Andersen. She also served as a technical project leader in the information technology solutions group at Deloitte & Touché, where she performed advanced-level research, planning and testing of new technology and related services. Similar duties were performed at the New York City Administration for Children's Services.

While Sandra's career offered much satisfaction, she strived to return to her first love of helping others. Ms. Tate founded TateWorks with a vision of helping people help themselves to achieve success.

In her spare time Ms. Tate can be found driving fast cars or enjoying the beach on tropical warm islands. She is equally happy at home in the kitchen preparing and cooking exotic foods for loved ones, where you'll find her serving up fair, no-nonsense advice.
