Writing is a great way to tell someone else's story and this is why I love to put words together on paper. I enjoy challenges that teach me something new and improve my skills in everything I do. I believe that there is no success without first experiencing some failure, but persistence is a must to accomplish your goals.
Tatiana was born in 1988 to a Colombian family, she was brought to the United States when she was 10-years-old. She did most of her school here but never forgot her native language -- Spanish. Throughout her years of school she was very involved in choir and track. When she went off to college she decided to pursue a career in broadcast journalism because she had always wanted to be on TV, and what best way than by telling someone else's story. She graduated from Illinois State University in May 2011. She obtained a bachelor's degree in broadcast journalism and a minor in political science.
