Tanya Banks is married with three children and living  in Livonia, MI. After years of shame, embarrassment, avoidance, anxiety, and fear due to stuttering, and looking for a ‘cure’, Tanya found the Royal Oak Beaumont NSA group, and has been a member for more than two decades, also attending 20+ NSA Annual Conferences, serving as chapter co-leader for four years; and chapter leader to this day. Tanya was also awarded NSA Chapter Leader of the Year in 2013.

Tanya works in sales and customer service, making up to 150 calls a day. She says that the shame, fear, anxiety, and embarrassment are gone, and that never would have happened without the Royal Oak group and NSA conferences.
