She has a very challenging role at the university but she is able to balance her various responsibilities while still providing mentorship to many other staff members at Ryerson. I invited Tanya to be a co-leader for a session with other managers at Ryerson on how to have career conversations with team members. Tanya\'s advice to her colleagues demonstrated to me again that she is truly one of the best leaders on campus.\"
