Covering O'Fallon Police Department's Citizen Police Academy week

Reporting on downtown O'Fallon's VFW BaconFest

Let’s face it. Creating compelling messaging and clear copy is hard. And you don’t have the time to do it.

I can help.

I’m a freelance writer based in the Metro East / St. Louis region with experience covering local organizations, community initiatives, and institutional programs. As a journalism-trained storyteller, I help organizations connect with audiences through interviews, outreach messaging, and mission-focused content.

This is what I do:

• Interview-driven storytelling
• Nonprofit campaign messaging
• Community and institutional communications
• Feature writing and profiles

How can I help you with your communication needs?

Want to know a bit more about me?

I've put together a little Tanya trivia for you. That way, when we have our first conversation, you won’t feel like you’re talking to a stranger.

Fun Facts:

• I'm pretty proud of my 450-plus day streak practicing Spanish with Duolingo. iEs emocionante!
• The writing bug bit me in second grade when my teacher stappled my poem The Mouse in the House to the “spotlight” section of our classroom bulletin board.
• Jaws, hands down, is my favorite movie.
• Whenever I travel to a new place, I like to visit the library.
• Food is my love language, so if you’re sick, just had a baby, or done me a solid – like the neighbor who removed the large pine limb that fell from my tree last winter – don’t be surprised if I'm bringing you dinner.
