Tammy Loeman

From learning to be a team player on the volleyball court to writing the ABCs and reading, teaching children life skills is a passion for Tammy Loeman, broker at Sutton Group – Innovative Realty in Hamilton. For the past four years, she has volunteered almost 30 hours per month at St. Michaels and Saints Peter & Paul elementary schools. The busy broker and single mother of a 13-year-old and a toddler finds her community work to be as personally rewarding as it is for the many children she assists.  

“I have always believed in giving something back. We can all find time. In fact, we can even be selfish and do something that we enjoy, which is what I do!  I think volunteers have a huge affect on children and who they become, speaking as someone who has worked with them one-on-one.”

Among her various projects, Loeman coaches the senior boys’ volleyball team at Saints Peter & Paul. Along with teaching the skills and game objectives necessary to become a good player, she shows them the value of co-operation and respect.
