ABOUT ME
The Mind Behind the Words
Hi! My name is Tanya. I am a writing tutor at Wolfson Campus in the Learning Resources Department. I started writing short stories when I was 6 years old (I didn't say they were any good—I just said I started.. haha). But I grew up, and I found my voice. Now I tutor all kinds of writing—APA, MLA, science, reading, philosophy, criminal justice, social science, speech and creative essays.
A Few Facts About Me
I’m a former Adjunct Professor of Photography at Miami Dade College Wolfson and Kendall Campuses, where I taught photography and photo editing for eight years.
Publications such as Robb Report, Ocean Drive, Brickell Magazine, and 944 featured me in spreads for my architectural photography work (www.mlxpix.com).
TV stations such as Channel 10, CNN in Espanol, and MegaTV, interviewed me for my abandoned photo project spanning 15 years, called Abandoned Muse (abandonedmuse.com).
I am featured in a documentary called "No Trespassing: The Art of Urban Exploration," which won several awards in Florida and aired nationally on PBS.
MTV and Nickelodeon are former employers; I worked editing and shooting sets, respectively.
I am published by Arcadia Publishing for two non-fiction, historical titles—Abandoned Miami: No Trespassing & Abandoned Miami: Stay Out. Both titles took months of research and editing to complete. (You can find both online wherever books are sold. There is also a copy at the Downtown Miami Library.)
Yes, I am a busy lady, but I love teaching and tutoring. If you have writer's block, don't know how to start that big essay or just need fresh eyes on a paper, make an appointment today on my website:
