As a Kalispell native, Tana enjoys nothing more than helping the people who also call the Flathead Valley home. After receiving her paralegal degree from the College of Legal Arts in Portland, Oregon in 1991, Tana began her over thirty-year career as a paralegal in the Valley. After working for a sole practitioner in Bigfork for over 19 years, she joined Lonnevik Law Firm in 2018 when her former boss semi-retired. Tana’s greatest joy comes from raising two wonderful sons: one a college graduate and post-graduate from Montana State University with Associate and Bachelor of Science degrees in Microbiology, Certificates of Applied Science in Practical Nursing and Medical Laboratory Science, and an LPN nursing license; and the other in the Navy Nuclear Power School in Goose Creek, South Carolina at the top of his class. As a single mother, she is proud to have handed down to her sons her passion for camping, fishing, throwing horseshoes and everything wonderful that comes from living here, ensuring her future family will enjoy calling the Flathead Valley home as much as she does.
