Tanya holds a Bachelor of Aerospace Engineering degree from Carleton University and a Masters of Business Administration degree from the University of Cambridge.  Tanya moved to Toronto after her undergrads and since then have lived and worked in UK, Honduras, China and India. She is currently a subsidiary CFO and CIO in a major aerospace consortium.  In addition, she is a financial services advisor specialized in small businesses.  Prior to that, she had extensive work experience in aerospace product development and program management.  Tanya considers mass extinction of species to be one of the most severe and often overlooked impact of climate change. She has a special interest in preservation of biodiversity due to its far reaching impact on macro-level economics and overall habitability of the planet. On a personal level, Tanya is passionate about traveling – discovering hidden gems and rediscovering classic attractions in a new light. At home, she loves to hike, bike, kayak, ski, camp and is always up for a picnic or cookout. However, taking a stroll around the streets of Toronto and trying out different restaurants along the way remains one of her favorite things to do.
