Her story is one of tragedy, transformation, and triumph. She uses her experiences to inspire students to know, no matter how dark things can get, there is hope.

Tahsa received the National Rehabilitation Champion Award in 2012, was crowned Ms. Wheelchair USA in 2012 and author of two books - .“My Last Step Backward” and “My Next Move Forward”. And she travels around the country and teaches the concept of P.A.T.H which stands for Purpose, Attitude, Team, and Hope. Her PATH Curriculum is a complete resource on mental health, suicide awareness, and social-emotional learning. Tasha and her team of experts created the PATH Curriculum to provide teachers, counselors, and adults who serve adolescents a key component that is missing in education today. PATH is a way of helping teachers and schools to deepen students’ understanding of mental health and suicide awareness, as it delivers a set of tools that can potentially serve them in every aspect of their lives.- Her keynote received the SAVE Certification Talking to Tasha was enlightening, we discussed the mental health of our youth, and the hope that Tasha cultivated during her most trying times.
