Missionary Spotlight: Get to Know OHI Missionary, Tanya Trklja

Tanya Trklja describes herself as someone suspended forever in that “in between” place. “I grew up in Serbia and left my family to come to Canada,” said Tanya. “I have always felt stretched between the two countries. I think every immigrant can identify with that feeling. With that mindset, I had high expectations and felt I had to prove myself. I worked hard for decades in a very stressful corporate project management and operations role, where I was a high achiever. I also spent a great deal of time juggling my family, kids, social life, professional development, and expectations from my family back in Europe. About seven years ago, my body gave in to all the pressure, and I experienced a total body, mind, and spirit breakdown."
