The bilingual actress (French/English) was born in Montreal, Canada and then later moved to Vancouver at 10yrs old. She first discovered her love for acting while regularly attending theatre with her mom as a young girl. It was Tanya's Nana though, a working actress herself, who posed as the initial strong role model in Tanya's now lifelong pursuit of acting. Tanya's second love of fitness and athletics had her training extensively to become a competitive swimmer for the better part of her youth. She went on to get her Bachelor of Physical Education from the University of British Columbia where she later became a very successful personal trainer. In her free time, Tanya loves to be outdoors skiing, hiking, and enjoying nature. Tanya is a business owner, co-owning one location of the rather popular plant based restaurant, Buddha-Full (Northwoods), located in North Vancouver, Canada.
