A very snowy Banana Duck shout-out goes to Tanya Vanillo, BCBA & Regional Clinical Director! Tanya is experiencing her second Michigan winter and is (likely) wondering why she traded sunshine for snow when she relocated from California!️☃️
Through change and challenge, Tanya consistently shows adaptability, compassion, and steady leadership. She blends deep clinical expertise with genuine kindness, offering thoughtful support, honest insight, and a welcoming presence to everyone she works with. Her work reflects quality, efficiency, and sound judgment—balanced perfectly with humor and heart that uplift the entire team.🫶
We are lucky to have you, Tanya!🌲
