Meet Tara Rice

Her Background

Originally from Northern Michigan, Tara moved to Arizona in 1994 to complete her bachelor’s degree in Psychology at Arizona State University. In 2000, she became the first person in Arizona to earn national certification through the Behavior Analyst Certification Board, launching a distinguished career supporting individuals on the autism spectrum.

Mission Driven Work

For over 2 decades, Tara dedicated herself to this mission by co-founding Chrysalis Academy and Play ABA. After selling these businesses in 2020 and retiring from the Behavior Analyst Certification Board, Tara embraced a long-time dream: building a career in real estate.

Licensed Real Estate Agent

In 2025 she joined Tukee Homes Realty, where she channels her passion of helping others to guiding clients through buying and selling homes across Arizona. Tara prides herself on creating meaningful, lasting relationships and assisting clients with care, integrity, and professionalism during one of life’s most important decisions. 


In addition to her real estate career, Tara serves as a Board Member for the local Non-Profit, Pathway to Work, continuing her commitment to empowering individuals with differing abilities. 


When she’s not working, Tara enjoys traveling, watching sports, and spending time with her family, whose home base has been in Ahwatukee for over 25 years.
