Tania is a proud Yorta Yorta/Wiradjuri woman who has been raised by a very strong lineage of Aboriginal women who have pathed her way to where she is today. Tania is very passionate about correcting the misconceptions of her people and their history through education. She is very passionate about correcting the wrongs that society believes by sharing her experiences of growing up as an Aboriginal child in the 80’s and 90’s, then heading into the workplace in the 90’s and how society perceived Aboriginal people to be. Tania always abides by her great grandmother’s words “it doesn’t matter if you are black, white or brindle, always treat people how you wish to be treated”.
