Tara Rice started her modeling career when she was just out of high school. A hopeful model, Tara entered the 2000 Miss Teen California purely for the experience. As it happened, she ended up winning the competition.
Still, celebrities aren’t always born overnight, and Tara eventually took a job as a kindergarten teacher to make ends meet. But when Hollywood came calling, she quit her day job and jumped right into the world of acting and modeling.
As soon as her tournament appearances began, hot poker girl Tara Rice became a hot topic on poker forums all across the Internet and online casino.

Playing poker is more like a hobby for Tara and she also loves spending time horse riding, dancing and snowboarding. Tara’s favorite poker game is No-limit Texas Hold’em.
