As a pre-med scholar at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Tatiana worked as a communications assistant for UNC’s Center for Women’s Health Research – an experience that sparked an interest in exploring the intersection of politics, policy and communications. Let’s just say she never looked back. After graduating college with a bachelor’s degree in communications studies, she took her passions to Capitol Hill to work for U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin and the House Committee on Education and Labor. 

Her experiences in congressional press shops led Tatiana to FleishmanHillard, where she currently works as an account executive. As a brand strategist and media relations specialist, she helps clients ranging from national nonprofits to Fortune 500 companies participate in public discourse on various social, cultural and political issues. In this role, she also provides strategic counsel on legislative and corporate reputation issues for a diverse portfolio of clients spanning the technology, advertising and consumer goods industries. 

Tatiana co-manages the Al Fleishman Diversity Fellowship program for FleishmanHillard’s Washington D.C. office. She also regularly represents the agency at recruiting events and participates in panels with leading journalists and public relations professionals to discuss her passion for diversifying the industry’s talent pipeline.
