Tataboline Enos is a writer, mom, and founder and CEO of the PA Wilds Center for Entrepreneurship, a nonprofit that leads a regional movement to grow the outdoor recreation economy across 13 rural counties to help attract investment, diversify local economies, inspire stewardship, improve quality of life and retain population. The Center’s work has been recognized as a sustainable model for asset-based development in several national studies. A fourth-generation native of Warren County, in the Pennsylvania Wilds, Ta has worked on the movement for close to two decades and loves what she does.

Ta has a Bachelor’s in journalism and public communications (University of Alaska Anchorage, 2002) and a professional background that includes rural entrepreneurship and outfitting and 10 years working as a news reporter and editor in Alaska, writing for the Anchorage Daily News, Anchorage Press, Dutch Harbor Fisherman, Bristol Bay Times and other publications. Ta co-authored the Allegheny River Paddling Guide (2007), a self-published waterproof guidebook that covers 51 miles of the Allegheny, a National Wild & Scenic River.

Ta’s memoir, Proudly Made, was released June 3, 2025 as part of the celebration for National Great Outdoors Month. It was published under Sunbury Press’ Catamount Press imprint, which focuses on Northern Appalachia. The book received advance praise from multiple quarters, locally and nationally. 

Ta and her husband are raising three boys on 65 acres in the Pennsylvania Wilds.
