She received a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology at the University of Ottawa in 1987.
After graduation, Tammy moved back to Montreal to marry her childhood sweetheart, Canadian Psychologist and author Dr. Jordan Peterson, and began to work as a Physiotherapy research assistant, and eventually found work as a massage therapist.
