Testimonials

“Hiring Tanya to lead our news department was one of the best decisions the station made. Our journalism efforts increased dramatically under her supervision, but also got markedly better. That's because her editing and reporting skills are top notch. As someone who produces and oversees content myself, Tanya made me a better interviewer, editor and program director — skills I put to use to this day!”

— Michael Krall - Program Director, WBHM

“I have had the pleasure of working with Tanya at Marketplace, back when I was a producer and editor. Tanya was a dream reporter: talented, smart, empathetic and hard-working. Tanya's calm and knowledgeable demeanor makes her a great communicator and someone listeners trust. Tanya is a consummate pro.

— Rachael Myrow - Host/Reporter/Senior Editor, Silicon Valley New Desk

“Tanya and I provided journalism training to public media reporters and managers over the years. She has a great way with people and knows how to make professional development fun and engaging — using examples, activities, personal experience and lots of hands-on practice. She's a knowledgeable pro with a gift for communicating!”

— Michael Marcotte - Journalism Professor, University of New Mexico

“Tanya has built a solid reputation among public radio producers around the country for her expertise in the field. Tanya's greatest asset might just be her impressive ability to work with a wide range of folks, and to teach the craft in an unassuming way. I'm fortunate to have had her as a mentor when I first made the leap into public radio. She is a joy to work with and an absolute pleasure to be around.”

— Gigi Douban - News Director, KUOW/Seattle
