SUU to Realtor

While a student at SUU, Tami Whisker discovered she was good at managing projects and events.

Today, as a realtor at Summit Sotheby’s International Realty in Park City, Utah, Tami is a leader in her profession and community. She has taught real estate forms classes and even lead the Park City Board of REALTORS®. She has served as the board chair for Peace House, an organization that helps those affected by domestic violence, and has volunteered in a fundraising production for the Egyptian Theater for the past seven years.

“I have never acted,” Tami says, “but it’s locals that put it on and it’s a blast!”

Tami graduated in 1989 with a major in communication and minor in marketing. The training she received and the skills she acquired at SUU are put to use each day as she writes real estate contracts and teaches classes.

While at SUU, Tami was a founding member of Phi Alpha Beta and remembers the amazing parties and meetings they had, as well as figuring out plans and dreaming together as sorority sisters. She was also involved in student government and still laughs at peeling 250 lbs. of potatoes for a Dutch oven dinner hosted by the school and organizing and carrying out a Winter Wonderland event in 20 degrees below zero.

She loved that SUU was small and full of opportunities. “It is so important to get involved besides your classes,” Tami exclaims about her experience at SUU. “I made so many wonderful friends that I see today.”

Tami enjoys the outdoors riding horses, hiking, and golfing.
