Tania is interning with WAN for the summer of 2020 while finishing her M.S. in Animals and Public Policy at Tufts University. She received a B.A. in Psychology and a minor in Animal Science from California State Polytechnic University, Pomona. During her undergraduate career, her internship at Western University and research project with the McNair Scholar’s Program focused on animal-assisted interventions with children with disabilities.

She enjoys spotting wild animals on hikes, traveling, and advocating for racial and social justice.
