Meet Tanya

I was born in Memphis, Tennessee. After my first years in elementary school, my family relocated to Indiana where I graduated from high school. Shortly after completing high school, I enlisted in the United States Navy where I proudly served for over a decade as a Chef and Instructor. I successfully trained close to 4000 culinary students in basic food preparation and effectively motivated students toward self­ improvement.

I attended Point Loma Nazarene University where I obtained a Bachelor’s Degree in Social Work and Child Development. I have over 30 years of experience in teaching, most of which has been spent as Director of Children’s Outreach for nonprofit organizations where I implemented maintained a fun and safe educational environment for children, parents, and staff.

​I have had the privilege of being the owner of Williams Family Child Care for nearly 10 years. I I partnered with various organizations such as Neighborhood House Association, CDA, YMCA, Chicano Federation, Childrens Home Society and more.

My love for children and education inspired me to pursue a career in teaching. Over the past years I have witnessed the decline in education. My passion is to bring solutions
and positive change to education.

My husband and I met in Japan on a tour of duty for the Unites States Navy. We have been married for 33 years and have four loving children and eight beautiful grandchildren. Chula Vista has been our home for over 20 years.
