Tamara Kočišová (born September 17, 1996, Tamara Marika Kočišová) is a Drezquenian politician and former collegiate athlete who has served as the President of Drezquenia since April 6, 2022. She was elected President following the 2022 Drezquenian Election where she would defeat opposing politician Hynek Beránek. She is the first elected female President of Drezquenia, and also the first to be from the Esoslovik minority in Drezquenia.
Early life
Born to Esoslavik citizens of Drezquenia, and in the provincial capital of Esoslava, Trenčín, Tamara was raised in a poor family with three older and two younger siblings. Growing up, Tamara didn't have many chances for extracurriculars outside of what her primary and secondary schools offered without extra payments. Tamara would play Esoslavik football, a regional variation of the common sport played worldwide, and would also attend weekly services with her family at Trenčín's South Esoslavik Church.
At age 18, Tamara would begin to attend The Pržemców University of Advanced Education, where she would major in political science, with a minor in Esoslavik Studies. She would graduate early after her senior year's fall semester due to exceeding the credit requirements.
At age 22, Tamara would attend the University of Porté and Mary Grace in the Alecburghish city of Kynnport, pursuing a master's degree in political science. At UPMG, she would play for the university's women's football team, but would have a career ending injury during the second to last game of her first season against Irene Boulevard University. Although she was offered her normal three seasons, plus a rare redshirt season if she had began to take other classes for another major, she opted out of the offer, and instead would return to Drezquenia where she'd pursue politics.
Political career
Member of Drezquenian Lieutenant Governor Council
In July of 2019, Tamara returned to the province of Esoslava, and would soon align with Květoslav Toman, a politician aiming for the position of Governor of Esoslava province.
In December, Toman and Tamara would win in the provincial elections with a 59% poll win.
In March of 2022, Tamara would resign from her position of Lieutenant of Esoslava Province, to pursue the position of President of Drezquenia. She would gain the endorsement of Květoslav Toman a day later.
