Tania joined the Camosun CMLA team in January 2021. She spent 13 years working as a Medical Laboratory Technologist; starting at RJH and then at Lifelabs for the last 11 years as a Technical Resource Specialist in Hematology.
Before moving to Vancouver Island, Tania lived in the Interior of BC, where she attended TRU in Kamloops and obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in Animal Biology with plans to be a veterinarian. She discovered the world of lab, and plans changed! After years of working in environmental labs and at veterinary clinics as an Animal Health Technologist, she obtained an MLT diploma from NAIT in Edmonton in 2008.
Tania loves her human and fur baby family more than anything, but the Toronto Raptors are a very close second in her heart.
Tania plans to pursue a Master’s Degree in the near future. She has recently completed the OWL Preceptor Education Program Training.
