A graduate of Toi Whakaari: NZ Drama School, Tania’s breakout performance in The Hothouse earned her a Qantas Television Award nomination for Best Actress.

She has since built a substantial career across both local and international productions, carving out a career that moves easily between comedy, drama, action and genre television. Currently on screen as Dr. Sophia Crane on Shortland Street, she was previously known to New Zealand audiences for leading roles in Go Girls, This Is Not My Life and Crackhead. Her international work spans network television and studio features, including roles in NCIS and Underworld: Rise of the Lycans.

Behind the scenes Tania works as an acting coach, with clients including Cooper Koch - who was recently nominated for both an Emmy and Golden Globe for his role in Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story. The ongoing collaboration her coaching work brings continues to deepen and inform her own on-screen craft.
