Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolTanya Couture is an experienced cytotechnologist based in Portland, Oregon, with 11 years in clinical laboratory screening and specimen processing across ThinPrep, SurePath, and imaging systems. She recently augmented her scientific expertise with a Bachelor's in Data Management/Analytics from WGU (completed 2025), signaling a shift toward data-driven healthcare workflows. Tanya has a strong background in laboratory information systems (PathQuest) and a track record of improving accuracy and throughput in high-volume diagnostic settings. Before clinical work she built a parallel career as a classical musician, performing with regional orchestras and teaching—an uncommon blend that speaks to discipline, attention to detail, and collaborative temperament. She’s contributed technical documentation to an open-source deployment platform (Mantl), demonstrating an ability to translate complex technical processes into clear user guidance. This combination of hands-on cytology, data analytics training, and communication skills positions her to bridge lab operations and informatics initiatives.
