Her journey began a decade ago during a challenging period of unemployment and personal struggles, where she turned to processed foods for comfort. Confronting chronic fatigue and driven by a desire to be a positive role model for her kids, Sebastian and Andrea, Tatiana enrolled in an online nutrition class. She embraced juicing as a symbol of her transformation.

Starting with just $100 in 2013, Tatiana eliminated processed foods from her diet and founded Andrea's Healthy Kitchen, offering detox juices, acai bowls, smoothies, and veggie wraps. Her business grew with outstanding community support, leading to a storefront in El Monte, CA 2018. As a Latina and the first in her family to start a business, Tatiana celebrated her success with overwhelming community backing.

In May 2020, Tatiana faced another significant challenge when a fire damaged her shop. Demonstrating remarkable resilience, she rebuilt and reopened Andrea's Healthy Kitchen in May 2021, continuing to serve her community with renewed determination.

Tatiana's dedication has earned her media coverage on VoyageLA, Telemundo, Univision, Spectrum, KTLA, NBC, Pasadena-Star News, and the Los Angeles Daily News. She actively engages with the community, partnering with Latina-owned businesses and sharing her inspiring journey in various speaking engagements. Today, Andrea's Healthy Kitchen thrives, providing affordable and healthy options, with Tatiana, affectionately known as the "Juice Lady," at the helm.
