About Tanya Crehan
About Tanya Crehan

At my core, I believe in the power of financial education and feel called to help those placed in my path.


As a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional, I am committed to guiding individuals and families toward financial confidence and long-term clarity. I’m also an active member of my community, having previously served as Vice President of the DeSoto County Business Women and as a board member of the DeSoto County Economic Development Council.


My professional background includes teaching Finance and Government at Carlisle School in Martinsville, Virginia, where I also managed the international boys’ boarding house. I later worked with Horace Mann, helping educators understand their pension benefits and 403(b) retirement options.


I earned my Bachelor of Science in Business Finance with a minor in Accounting from Liberty University, where I proudly played four years as a Division I Women’s Soccer player.


I’m also the proud wife of Enda Crehan—a native of Galway, Ireland, and the head men’s soccer coach at Christian Brothers University. Together, we’re raising two energetic redheaded boys who keep us on our toes. We also have a wonderful adult son who lives in New York. As a family, we love cheering on our boys at soccer games and traveling together whenever we can.


Now that you know a bit about me, I’d love the opportunity to learn more about you!
