Based in Southern Maine, Tatiana first started shooting in 2011 at a NRA Women on Target clinic. It was the first time she had been on a range or held a handgun and fell in love with the experience. This passion quickly evolved from recreational use to personal protection as a single mother of two, turning her hobby into her full-time focus, study and profession.

Tatiana’s teaching programs focus on bridging the gap between fundamental skills development on the range and real-world, context-based applications, offering educational opportunities for both new gun owners and experienced shooters. Today, Tatiana’s year-round concealed carry is a Walther PDP F-Series 4″ in 9mm, topped with Trijicon RMR optic, shooting Federal Premium HST ammunition.

“Joining the Walther Defense Division is an honor”, says Tatiana and is proud to be part of the Defense Division team as: “Walther has time and again proven to be an innovator in design, exceptional performance and quality in the defensive shooting industry. I am proud to be working with a company and with team-mates that embody that excellence, and have the dedication to bring the best products and instruction to the self-defense minded shooter.”
