About

After a 20+ year career in political consulting, Tanya embarked on a bucket list trip to Tanzania and Uganda that quite literally transformed her life. Having used a travel advisor for the very first time, she got a first-hand look at the value and wisdom of doing so. During the pandemic, Tanya decided to part ways with her 9-5 and make a career out of her passion: travel. Over two decades of lobbying, grassroots outreach, coalition building, and campaign management equipped Tanya with critical skills she applies as a travel advisor, from strategic planning, communication, and most important, adept problem-solving. As an avid traveler herself, she prides herself on coloring outside the lines when it comes to navigating travel mishaps that are sometimes unavoidable. When launching her career as a travel advisor, Tanya knew she wanted to be that source of confidence and advocacy for her clients. From her untapped connections to the “best of the best” to her skillful mastery of curating transformational travel experiences, Mariposa Travel Advisors — a name synonymous with transformation itself — was born out of wanting to share the gift of travel with others.
