Tanya Whalley

B.Bus, LLB - Solicitor
Tanya Whalley has been with Macrossan & Amiet Solicitors since January 2006 when she joined the firm as a trainee solicitor.

Tanya spent most of her childhood in Proserpine, in the Whitsundays, and was delighted when she was offered a position with Macrossan & Amiet's Mackay office, having always wanted to return to the region to practice.

Having wanted to become a solicitor for as long as she can remember, it was a great thrill for Tanya when she graduated from James Cook University, in Townsville the first member of her family to graduate from university.

As a solicitor, she loves being able to help people find solutions to their problems and prides herself on being hard working, honest and loyal. She is also a good listener, a skill that bears her in good stead in her profession.

Tanya is a good all-rounder and says if she hadn't chosen law as a profession, she would be either a psychologist, an accountant or running her own cattle property!

When not at work, Tanya's young daughter "keeps her on her toes" and spending time with her family is a priority. She also enjoys reading, fishing and a nice glass of wine.
