About Tanya Kumar

Hello and thank you for stopping by! My name is Tanya!My path to becoming a nurse has been anything but traditional, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. From earning my Criminal Justice degree two years early while working full-time to graduating from UC Hastings, I’ve always been driven to explore new ways to make an impact. Along the way, I’ve worn many hats: teacher, 911 dispatcher, recruiter at TikTok—and each role taught me skills that now shape my approach to patient care.I developed a deep interest in maternal and reproductive health. Volunteering at Planned Parenthood solidified my passion for advocating for equitable healthcare access, especially for underserved communities. That passion led me to nursing, where I recently graduated in 2024, ready to channel my experiences into meaningful work.If you’re passionate about creating change in healthcare or exploring innovative ways to make a difference, I’d love to connect.
