TANYA MARIANO
Writer. Editor. Communications Professional.
ABOUT ME
I’m a writer, editor, and communications professional with more than 15 years of experience
across humanitarian and development organizations, media and publishing, the private sector,
and government. I also hold a Master of Arts in Communication.
Along the way, I've:
written travel and lifestyle features,
reported on technology and business,
managed social media strategy and content,
led communication campaigns and editorial projects,
developed human-interest stories and in-depth case studies,
and helped shape multimedia productions, conferences, exhibits, and other events.
Across all of it, writing remains the part of the work I enjoy most:
bringing ideas and stories to life with clarity, nuance, accuracy, and care.
