She was modeling for C H I C K, Call It Spring, Elvn, Fashion Nova and GymShark. Of course, a lot of people have a crush on hot Tati and she likes it to feed them with tons of hot selfies. Especially Tati has changed a lot in the last years and people who remembered her by her teenager pictures should check her out on social media first. She was experiencing a little Mozart effect, because an huge part of her business was child or teenager acting and singing. - ''You had been such a cute, little, adorable protegé. What happened to you? - I'm just growing up. My only crime.'' - And the coronavirus shutdowns, lookdowns and quarantines didn't make it easier.

Tati got homescooled. She was in a regular school until seventh grade. When she wasn't in school for some reasons her teachers brought the homework on set (what a service). She finds homeschooling easier for her job, but somehow she missed regular, especially when she is watching her younger brothers. She was in her last, senior year in high school in 2021.

Tati got homescooled. She was in a regular school until seventh grade. When she wasn't in school for some reasons her teachers brought the homework on set (what a service). She finds homeschooling easier for her job, but somehow she missed regular, especially when she is watching her younger brothers. She was in her last, senior year in high school in 2021 and graduated high school earlier. Then she took college classes online for about a year. But it wasn't acually her thing and was doing acting classes for about one to two years. That got her in her first leading role in her first leading in ''The Lies I told Myself'', but I was released in 2024 about three years after shooting. When she turned 18 she celebrated in Porto Rico and on way she was asked to do an audition for HBO Maxshow ''Gordita Chronicles''. Absolute fluke aka luck, because she didn't done anything in the film industry before, the ''The Lies I told Myself'' was still in post-production and got a week later booked flying back to Porto Rico for her bigger role on a show.

She started dancing at home in Canada when she was two years old. When she went first time in a dance studio she did know she was actually too young by a couple months, because minimal age to take classes was four. But she felt she was meant to do this and pretended to be a couple months older, so no one stopped the kid and no one noticed it until she was four. At the age five, when she was going home, she found a little book "One day I going to move to Hollywood." and made a picture of it. So she thinks she is exactly where she should be now and everything happens for a reason. Tatiana danced competitively at the Bojangles Dance Arts Studio in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada.

Later at the age of seven, she moved actually to LA with her mom and two younger brothers, because her dad worked in LA and her parents had too much long distance flights and they decided moving all together to the world capitol of industry dancers. It was destiny for Tati, and she continued dancing in LA at "The Rage" dance complex. She was dreaming these days to get on TV shows, but had no thoughts about the process how to get there. Then she was discovered at the Rage by some managers and agents as talent and started first time doing an audition - for a Toyota Prius commercial. That's how her career started, because she ended up booking it and started learning about the industry process when she was eight and was very optimistic at that time. "Yeah, next audition and I'll get it!". But then she started realizing "Your began a luck" (Karate Kid) and not getting every audition. She deals with the lot of "No"-s by following the advice of her parents and is growing with the challenge. But she admits, it was hard for her at the beginning, when she was younger and didn't understand the reasons behind this and got sometimes envious seeing all her own friends had success too, while her own basket often stayed empty. She learned to be happy for them, because there be always the next one and it will newer end, if you don't stop at all; especially with the hard working. In her opinion, the most challenging part about being a dancer, is keeping motivated in such a competitive atmosphere. The older she gets, the tougher it gets.

Her first hip-hop teacher was Will "WilldaBeast" Adams at the Rage and Will's first class too ... as teacher. So Tati and Will got historically very close together and Tati got one of the first members of IMMA and joined [https://www.instagram.com/thelilbeasts/?hl=en first LilBeast], ImmaBeast's sub company for very young talents who became later all famous too. Tati stayed in touch with IMMA and now she is older generation of one of the most important dance companies in the world. ImmaBEAST is like a second family to her where everyone has the same interests and goals in mind. It’s a safe place to learn and grow together. At IMMA she met also first time also two her best friends [[Tahani Anderson]] and [[Kaycee Rice]] and formed the girl group "KayHaniTi". An innocent childhood friendship, who did kids stuff beyond dancing too, like setup a tent in a room and had a sleepover in it. So the besties got very close together. In the later years Tati kept more in touch with Tahani then with Kaycee. She also met first time another one of her best friends and permanent dancer partner - [[Gabe De Guzman]]. Still these days Gabe is considering Tati as little sister and have quite a history together when they toured together to Philippines, Dominican Republic and Columbia when Tati was somewhere between 13-15 and Gabe 15-17 years old .
