Tanya is a leader and a pioneer. As Vice President for Bonneville SLC, she is the first woman not only in her organization but the entire state of Utah to hold that position. Tanya has over 25 years of experience in media (TV, radio, digital and podcasts). She was an award-winning journalist for CBS and has led operations and acquisitions. She currently serves on the board of United Way of Salt Lake, the Utah Debate Commission and is a member of the Governor’s suicide prevention task force. Recently, she has been named to the NBC Affiliate Board. Tanya is doing a lot and continues to do what she wants. She has turned down opportunities that would be an amazing addition to any resume because they didn’t align with what she wants to do. 

 

Tanya’s decisiveness is inspiring. It was one of the first things that struck me about her, and we discussed how instrumental it has been to her career and life. If it felt right or allowed her to learn something, she said yes. She believes in making decisions not sitting on the fence. If it isn’t the right decision, that’s okay. Adjust and correct course, but you will never grow and get clear about who you are if you don’t make a choice.
