Prior to teaching, she worked within the field of mental health as a National Board Certified Counselor and as Director of Community Residence Services for Pathways, Inc. She entered the field of education in 2007, choosing to utilize her invaluable experiences in mental health and returning to her roots. Through this transition, she was able to fulfill two passions: supporting youth in their development to become successful, productive, and healthy adults while sharing her passion for biological sciences and the outdoors. Ms. Ross currently teaches Regents level and college level biology at Hornell Jr.\/Sr. High School, where she has also served as Class Advisor, Student Government Advisor, Teacher Mentor, and is a member of many subcommittees. Ms. Ross has dedicated her practice to creating inclusive opportunities for students to autonomously engage in authentic and relevant scientific experiences and discourse. She is also actively involved in her community as an Assistant Scoutmaster and Merit Badge Counselor with her son\u2019s BSA Troop. In her spare time, she enjoys spending time with family, camping, fishing, kayaking, serving as a lifeguard at the Hornell YMCA, as well as cheering as an ardent fan of the Buffalo Bills.<\/p>\n<p data-is-only-node=\"\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-end=\"784\" data-start=\"485\">\n<div class=\"su-button-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/warner\/northeastnoyce\/pl-opportunities\/stem_teaching_partnerships\/registration\/\" class=\"su-button su-button-style-default\" style=\"color:#FFFFFF;background-color:#00205b;border-color:#001a49;border-radius:12px\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"color:#FFFFFF;padding:0px 30px;font-size:22px;line-height:44px;border-color:#4d638d;border-radius:12px;text-shadow:none\"> Sign up for a STEM Teaching Partnership with Tanya<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Area of Focus:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p> High School Science (Biology\/Life Sciences)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Click to Read Tanya&#8217;s Bio<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":26,"featured_media":27322,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[132],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-27272","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cadre-member"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
