Tami Okumura-Nieders, RN

Tami-Okumura-Nieders is a pediatric hematology/oncology nurse with over 35 years of experience in the nursing profession. After obtaining a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from UCLA in 1982, she began her career at Children's Hospital Los Angeles. During the following years, Tami became involved with Camp Good Times. She remembers working in the "med shed" in the very early days of camp, when it was being run out of the back of Nurse Barbara's truck. In addition to volunteering as a nurse, Tami also did a session as a cabin counselor, and even got to travel to Norway with a group of campers. She has been a part of many memorable experiences throughout the evolution of camp. After taking a hiatus to raise her 2 daughters, Tami returned to the med shed in 2012 and has volunteered as a camp nurse every summer since. She is now happy to have her daughters involved in CRMFGT as well.
