Tamara Kaye Sellman, RPSGT, CCSH
Sleep Health Educator, Independent Journalist
- I'm currently curator of SleepyHeadCENTRAL.com, web consultant for the American Sleep Association (ASAA), secretary of the Washington State Sleep Society (WSSS), and co-administrator for the Multiple Sclerosis Unplugged group in Facebook.
- My background in journalism originates with my graduation from Columbia ('90) with an undergraduate degree in Journalism, followed by over 25 years of working in multiple capacities (writing, editing, production, and marketing) for a wide range of publications, both print and digital.
- I earned my RPSGT credentials after studying in the polysomnography program at Highline Community College (2013), and I passed the boards to earn my CCSH credentials a year later.

- I'm a member of the American Association of Sleep Technologists (AAST), the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM), the National Organization of Sleep Educators (NOSE), the Pacific Northwest Science Writers Association (PNSA), Multiple Sclerosis Unplugged, and the Society for Science & the Public.
