Tammie Scott lives in Southeastern Idaho near the Fort Hall Reservation. Previously she worked in healthcare at the local hospital for 17 years. She then received her BS in Community and Public Health as an undergraduate at Idaho State University and then started a job as the Health Educator for the Shoshone Bannock Tribe for the next five years. There she also received her certification as a Tobacco Treatment Specialist from Duke University.  She is a certified Child Passenger Safety Instructor and volunteer liaison for the State of Idaho Child Passenger Safety under IDT. 

Through these opportunities she has developed a passion for promoting healthy lifestyles and preventative education in Indian country.  Specifically, creating resources to help those who want to overcome their commercial tobacco addictions and distinguishing the differences between commercial tobacco and sacred tobacco.  At Northwest Portland Area Indian Health Board, she has the opportunity to serve as the WEAVE-NW Public Health Educator. She is extremely honored and excited to serve the tribes within the region, and looks forward to helping those communities develop the tools needed to create and maintain various health promotion and disease prevention issues.   

In her spare time, she like to be in the surrounding mountains kayaking and fishing with her husband and dogs when there is not lots snow on the ground.  When there is, she like to cook, craft and read.
