Tanya will be returning to the Dome for her third season as a New Orleans Saintsation.
She graduated from Southeastern Louisiana University with a Bachelor of Business Administration degree with a concentration in international business studies which propelled her to her current role as a Marketing and Financial Manager for one of the largest fitness facility franchises in the nation.
While attending Southeastern, Tanya excelled as a Presidential Scholar and participated in several abroad programs that allowed her to study in Central America. She also pursued her passion of cosmetology and became a licensed cosmetologist the following year.
Aside from her work environments, Tanya has also proven to be quite successful in the pageant world by being a three-time, top five placement at Miss Louisiana USA including a 1st Runner Up finish in October 2018. Although Tanya had never formally trained in dance, her intense cheer and gymnastics background, which began at age 5, drove her to expand her performance abilities after college. This is why, when she initially decided to audition the week of tryouts for the 2017-2018 season, she gave it her all and has yet to look back.
Tanya couldn't be more thrilled and focused for the amazing season ahead! When asked how she thinks this season will play out, her response, "It's been exactly 10 years since we took it all in Miami! And just like the rest of the Saints Fandom, I'm ready to take on Miami once again, but this time with a vengeance!"
