details behind TANYA S. MILLER
a Virtual C.V.
An exploration into the professional planetary path
my soul has walked. . .
For nearly 30 years, my professional life has unfolded to encompass fields of expertise rooted in nature based education, wilderness experiences, physical and spiritual wellness, personal and community human development, leadership, and small business ownership and administration.
​
Presented here as my professional paths, my background contains countless hours of training and education as well as direct experience in various career fields and applications. Thus, my culminating professional history epitomizes a life trajectory that is diversified between education, wilderness guiding, entrepreneurship, and employment by others.
Any traditional chronological timeline outlining my path quickly becomes intertwined with many touch points that occur simultaneously or overlap. This visual depiction is but a small glimpse of what has occurred leaving much description, interpretation, and understanding to direct communication with me about my background.
