As Mission Blue’s Controller, Tamika utilizes her analytical skills in all aspects of financial reporting, internal controls, and compliance. Those skills combined with extensive experience in budgeting, forecasting and non-profit financial management, allow her to provide insightful analysis to the senior leadership team to support the strategic initiatives and growth of Mission Blue. Tamika’s relationship with Mission Blue began in 2012 through her company DAS Unlimited, Inc. as a contractor providing tax and accounting services and support. Over her career, she has provided these services to large and small businesses in a variety of industries; however, most of her non-profit clients have been in the field of ocean conservation. While she is originally from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, one of her fondest childhood memories was on a school science field trip aboard a skipjack doing research in the Chesapeake Bay. That was the experience that sparked her interest in the world’s ocean.
