Mia met Frank Tamru between Asia-bound flights and Apple Store shifts—an unexpected moment that grew into something enduring. Over a decade of shared projects, challenges, and laughter, their working relationship transformed into a lifelong bond. Known by Mia simply as Papa Frank, he became far more than a mentor—he became family.

Mia’s career bridges education, technology, and creative strategy. From launching Atlantic City’s first STEAM lab—recognized by Apple—to lecturing at Rutgers University, she’s spent over 15 years helping people and systems speak the same language. Whether guiding nonprofits, reimagining design for local institutions, or teaching the next generation, Mia leads with both heart and innovation.

At Power, she channels all of that into the work. She brings structure without rigidity, ensures the mission stays clear, and keeps the team grounded. Mia doesn’t just manage projects—she stewards a vision, carrying it forward with care, clarity, and the kind of trust that only grows over time.

Sara To took a deliberate detour from the grueling world of corporate marketing to pursue something far more expansive—Power: A Memoir. For the last year and a half, she’s poured her creative energy into building the visual and verbal language of this project, shaping its digital presence from the ground up.

Sara brings a rare fusion of artistry and analytics. With a degree from Stockton University and experience spanning healthcare systems and arts institutions, she knows how to make content not only beautiful—but discoverable, strategic, and human. At AtlantiCare, she led digital content coordination across platforms. At the Noyes Arts Garage, she helped elevate exhibitions with graphic storytelling and community outreach.

With Power, Sara found more than a project—she found a canvas. Her designs carry the memoir’s heartbeat. Her copy connects generations. Every line, every pixel, every campaign reflects her commitment to telling Frank Tamru’s story with clarity, cohesion, and care.

Penny brings over two decades of language mastery to her role as Editorial Advisor for Power—a career steeped in grammar, nuance, and the art of knowing when to leave a sentence alone. A former high school English teacher turned trusted copy editor, Penny blends precision with heart. With a BA in English, teaching certifications, and advanced study in marriage and family therapy, she doesn’t just edit words—she understands the lives behind them.

But what truly sets her time with Power apart is the growing bond she’s cultivated with its author. Known fondly in her world as Papa Rue, Frank and Penny’s editorial sessions often spill over into brunches, full of bustling energy, pots of coffee, and the occasional debate over a dangling modifier. What began as grammar and structure has become laughter, shared stories, and a rhythm uniquely theirs.

At Power, Penny protects the soul of the manuscript. Every phrase she touches is sharpened, softened, or shaped with care—making sure the voice remains authentic, the meaning precise, and the emotion intact. She’s the quiet heartbeat behind the clarity, the one making sure every word lands exactly where it belongs.

Amna stepped into Power at a time when it was still a swirl of memory, voice notes, and decades-old slides—scattered pieces waiting for shape. With an analytical mind and a calm presence, Amna became pivotal in those early stages, organizing media, sifting through timelines, and helping build the initial flow of what would become Power: A Memoir.

A mathematician with a deep love for clarity, Amna has led data and enrollment strategy at Fairfield University, tutored students in calculus and classical mechanics, and guided educational consulting projects with a steady hand. But at Power, she became something of a structural architect—laying the guardrails that allowed the story to grow without losing its direction.

She works quietly, without fanfare, but her fingerprints are everywhere. The order. The logic. The unseen boundary lines that hold the whole thing together.
