Her first foray in publishing came in Jack and Jill Magazine in 1970 with an article titled "We Live in Kenya," detailing her childhood growing up in Africa with her family. After receiving her bachelor's degree in journalism and communications from the University of Delaware, she went on to a career in public relations in New York City. By 1990, she had moved with her husband and two children to Lakewood, Colorado, where she was a freelance writer and worked for several non-profits. In 2013 she produced an award-winning documentary film, Heart and Sole: 20 years of Tap Extravaganza.® Tia earned her MA in counseling from Regis University, worked in hospice for five years, and is grateful for the opportunity to provide therapy in grief and loss.view less
