Welcome to this space of intellectual curiosity, inspiration, and whimsy. I am Tanya Owens, and I have a background in radio & television production, adult learning, performance improvement, and organizational development. 

I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Communications with a concentration in Radio & Television Production (that degree is now split between two different degree programs: Communications & Digital Media Production) and a Minor in Music from SUNY New Paltz.

I also have three Master's degrees, including a Master of Science in Instructional Design, Development, and Evaluation from Syracuse University.

It involves a comprehensive approach that considers the needs of learners, the objectives of learning, and the constraints of resources. It is both a systematic and systemic process.
