Ask the sassy, quick-witted host of A&E's Emmy nominated "Sell This House" how to win the title of Miss World Canada and become a rising star on TV, and she'll answer with buckets of passion, insight and determination. For Memme, who originates from Canada, there was never any doubt she was destined for a career in front of the camera.
The daughter of a family who own an award-winning housing company called "Mountain View Homes," renowned for custom homes and commercial developments in Ontario, Tanya was the perfect choice to launch "Sell This House" for A&E. Using real-life experiences and great advice on how to prepare a house for the market, Memme deftly guides viewers between the mind of the buyer and the heart of the seller.

By 1994, she was crowned Miss World Canada. She then decided to move to New York City and attended the prestigious American Musical & Dramatic Academy where she became a well trained actor, singer and dancer. Her acting career immediately took flight with accomplished roles on "The Practice", "JAG" and "CSI Miami".
