Tatiana serves as the Executive Administrative Assistant to the Provost & Dean of the College and as the interim Academic Program Coordinator at the Sanger Center for the Sciences. She assists faculty, staff, and students with a wide variety of tasks and serves many different roles. 

She has a B.S. in Biology from Millikin University in Decatur, Illinois where she also minored in Psychology. She has worked for non-profits for the majority of her career.

Before Beloit College, Tatiana taught nutrition across Rock County to many different groups of people and partnered with many community agencies. Some days she would go from teaching First graders about vegetables to teaching incarcerated individuals how to save money at the grocery store. She was known as “Mrs. Totsie” to many school children who learned to try new foods with the “I wonder” bite. 

Tatiana enjoys spending time with her husband, three daughters, two dogs, and a plethora of fish. She loves music of all types, both listening and making music on the piano or singing, and is thrilled when she is able to go to off-broadway musicals. She also likes to craft, read, and plan (renovations, vacations, etc).
