My own journey began in a household filled with love, but lacking in effective communication.

This early experience sparked a curiosity about better ways to connect with the world so I embarked on a personal quest for knowledge - engaging in countless conversations, devouring self-help books, and enrolling in a multitude of classes.

​

Two remarkable professors from my own college days at Rutgers University left an unforgettable mark on my education. One who believed in me wholeheartedly and provided continuous encouragement instilled the value of mentorship. The other made learning so enjoyable through engaging strategies that the knowledge remains with me to this very day, and I smile every time I think about that class.

My career has taken me from a hospital administrator to a photography and video solopreneur to a college educator. As an adjunct professor since 2017, I've guided my students along their paths of personal discovery and professional development. Over the years, learners shared that they resonate most with my engaging and genuine approach. Witnessing the positive impact this approach has on their development, I wanted to help fellow educators create similarly dynamic spaces - enter Tatiana Teaches!
