Tanya Alcala
Talent Acquisition Manager
Tanya is a L.A. native and received her B.S. in Biology from Loyola Marymount University. She is a seasoned sales professional with a strong background sales contracting. She developed, managed, and maintained accounts for a leading national pharmaceutical GPO. Tanya left sales to obtain a medical degree from the University of California San Diego. During her medical education she realized that although she loved science and medicine, her personality and competitive spirit thrived in a sales arena. Tanya took time off after earning her M.D. to raise her three children. She reentered the workforce as the top sales rep and then promoted to Sales Director of a startup in Covid relief grants.
She has since made her way to the medical industry recruiting, being "recruited to recruit." She fills commercial teams and Medical Science Liaisons with a focus on oncology, diagnostics, nuclear medicine, critical care, women's health, and cardiothoracic.
Tanya resides in San Diego and is an avid surfer. Her favorite break is Cardiff Reef where she is known as the “Wave Hog” in the lineup. Her other hobbies include pickleball, hiking with her dog Panda and coaching her children’s sports teams. She was the only head female football coach in Drew Brees’ FNA Football league in Del Mar, CA.
