Ta-Nika Evans

Ta-Nika is a 1996 graduate of Georgia Southern University.  She majored in Spanish with a minor in Psychology.  For 15 years, she taught Spanish to students from ages 2 to adults.  She then transitioned to a more supportive and administrative role in education, where she remained for 10 years.  While working in the educational system she was able to work with a diverse group of people, which afforded her opportunities to develop and cultivate key relationships in many environments using several different communication platforms.  In so doing she has worked with teams across staffs of over 500 individuals, helping to reform, refine, and develop programs, processes, and procedures.  

Ta-Nika has taken those skills and applied them in other capacities.  She is currently working on government contracts.  She has worked with FEMA and the COVID-19 project and is currently working with the USDA and their Discrimination Financial Assistance Program. Over the years, she has come to embrace her long-standing desire to advocate for those unable to fully assist themselves due to their current circumstances.  She believes that God has given her a passion to cultivate and care for the wellbeing of those who need help; while empowering them to care for themselves so they can later pay it forward.  “Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day.  Teach him how to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.

Ta-Nika recognizes the power of knowledge and how the pursuit of education may enrich one’s thinking.  She is currently pursuing a Masters’ degree in Industrial Organizational Psychology.  She feels this will expand her knowledge, skills, and expertise in an area that will allow her to lead teams and spearhead initiatives for communities and individuals needing assistance.  She intends to dedicate her time to developing partnerships and collaborations with organizations that are equally committed to launching impactful programs that will help individuals be their best selves.
