"About Me"


Hello, my name is Tanya Rush . I am an Idaho native and love every aspect of growing up in Idaho and the outdoors. My first attempt of college was over 20 years ago. I was awarded a full ride scholarship for athletics but was more wrapped up in being away from my parents, playing sports was deemed less important than socializing; that generated me walking away from college. I then worked at Micron for 18 years and was laid off 2 years ago thus allowing me to create who and what I am truly passionate about. My passions of creating, exercise, eating healthy and helping people has led me into teaching. Being an athlete my whole life and journeying what works and what doesn’t as an active person, I would like to share my wisdom and hope that I can make a difference through what I am creating and how I can impact today’s children in a matter of self confidence and self love no matter what angle or direction is needed for each child.
Growing up in Idaho and the outdoors, I was very blessed. Then having such a loving mother that taught me to love and treat all people with equality no matter what has inspired my journey so far. I have been fortunate enough to travel to many different countries and engage in a broad range of cultures that opened my heart even more. When I was let go at Micron, it took away my income but it gave me more spirit than I ever knew of. I came out running wild and scared at first but whatever message was being sent through via universe allowed me to blossom as a person. I have desires of educating people on the environment and our impact on it, the benefits of supporting our local community and role-modeling bringing diversity appreciation. I have been following my dreams and listening to my heart this go around. Corporate America was truly not who I am. It was a paycheck and served a purpose at that time in my life.
Now I am a full time student following my passions and that’s to teach and educate our children. I do not only want to educate our children, I want to educate the parents, too. It would expand into a collaborative teaching and learning all together. I created a mountain bike camp for refugee children last year and it was an incredible experience. I’m in the midst of organizing this year’s camp, along with going to school full time this summer. Here is a little short clip that expands upon more of who I am.
