Tara Dagastine joined the Like Media team in January 2024 as a marketing executive. She brings with her more than two decades of customer service experience, from serving in local restaurants and coffee shops, to dental assisting, collections, banking and sales.

Born and raised in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, Tara has fond memories growing up on the lake, spending countless hours on the water, where her parents had their boat moored. She fondly remembers raising and showing animals in 4-H and spending her summers at camp. She loves to take advantage of snow skiing in the winters and on-the-water fun during the warmer months. “Even with the rapid growth and changes in Coeur d’Alene, I still love the sense of supportive neighbors, local amenities, and being a foodie … I love the local restaurant scene,” Tara shares.

You will always find Tara smiling and laughing, just enjoying life here in North Idaho. She enjoys surrounding herself with friends and family (she is the proud mom to three children, her pride and joy), and loves to entertain, play games and take in a good dose of comedy. “My creative mind is always spinning,” she adds. “I love to make favorite or new recipes to share together.”

A fun fact about Tara: Years back, she was the “secret elf” in town who would paint up store fronts and business windows in the night for advertising or for the holidays.

She looks forward to this next chapter with Like Media and has already embraced the family oriented environment and looks forward to building and creating lifelong relationships with her co-workers and clients.
