Based on her profile, Tatyana was introduced as a 20-year-old Pampanga native with a degree in Bachelor of Science in Psychology.
“As a Psychology graduate, I’m also interested in human interactions and behaviors — how we are wired to be predisposed to do certain decisions but still [vary] in results as to how individual stimuli that hone a person as he grows up — and that is very interesting for me,” her profile reads.
