CEO, Corner of Love

Tanya Mroczek-Amador is CEO of Corner of Love, a global charity with nonprofit corporations in Japan, U.S., and Bermuda (U.K. Territory). In 2000 she founded the organization that unites healthcare workers from all over the world with the needy population of north Nicaragua, also addressing lack of drinking water and education in impoverished villages. Her work in 70+ mountainous communities prompted her to become a rural medic in Nicaragua in 2005, and move to Central America where she oversees the life-saving work of Corner of Love. As a Seattle native, Tanya grew up in the fine-art and antiquities industry, working from a young age at Mroczek Bros Auctioneers with her father and brothers. In the Pacific Northwest Tanya was a part of an intensive pioneer program for the gifted and became an independent Olympics of the Mind scholar in 1987. At the age of 15, she moved to Mulhouse, France where she worked and studied until marrying in 1991 and returning to Washington State. An avid starter of fundraising efforts all over the world, Tanya has chaired scores of charity auctions and prompted volunteers who support dozens of causes to increase effectiveness and grow revenue. Named Paul Harris fellow by Rotary International in 2014, Tanya has been recognized by numerous foundations and civic groups for her dedication to the poor and those who desire to improve their lives. She speaks fluent Spanish, English, and French and enjoys spending time with her four grown children who all reside in Seattle. Tanya is a Fellow of the thirteenth class of the Central America Leadership Initiative and a member of the Aspen Global Leadership Network.
