She possess expertise in military, security clearance, operational planning, military operations, program management and 17 more skills. Colleagues describe her as "Unafraid to ask hard questions based on thoughtful observation, powered by a tireless energy to get the job done, Tanya is among the most reliable people I know. Chance brought Tanya into my life, when she bought the house across the street from mine during a military assignment in North Carolina. The first thing that drew me to her was her compassion as a fellow military spouse and working mom. I quickly learned the depth of her work ethic, in awe of her grace as she balanced her own active duty assignment with the challenging reality of supporting an active duty military partner and raising a beautiful smart little girl. While my initial work with Tanya was of a social nature, my admiration of her professionally has grown and grown. Tanya displays a uniquely talented intelligence, prime for success in a corporate setting. She holds teams to a higher standard by understanding the connections between people, naturally diffusing potential discord, and nurturing a focus back to the task at hand. When she is around, the team performs more comfortably. When she is missing, you notice. The individualized perception she has leads others to greater accomplishments, because she is genuinely curious and aware of what each person brings to the table and how they can best be supported. As her informal coach and official friend, I am excited to see where Tanya’s career takes her. She is flexible yet strong, an independent thinker and achiever who serves the good of the whole. "
