Tamar Gewirtz, Writer

Hi! My name is Tamar Gewirtz and I’m the features editor for Echo. You may already know me from the Aquafresh commercial I was in from first grade… yes, I am just that cool. Aside from starring in thrilling, dramatic tv commercials, I love to play tennis, go bouldering, and take my dog on walks. I also love to hang out with my friends and watch TV (catch me binging Gossip Girl on Netflix).
