Mrs. Taryn was born in Denver, Colorado but she has lived most of her life in Southern Utah. Her favorite sport in school was marching band, in which she played the tenor saxophone. She received her associates degree in General Studies at SUU just in time to get married, move to Northern Utah, and have her first child. Later on, after she had 2 kids, she returned to school online and earned her bachelor's degree in Marriage and Family Studies at BYU-Idaho. She now has three children, one of whom has mental health challenges. She is an avid supporter of those with mental disabilities and encourages her students to be their unique selves. Taryn loves that she doesn't fit into a mold. She is allergic to anything that has fur, so she has a Quaker parrot and two parakeets instead. She has sported all ranges of hairstyles, rides a 3-wheel Spyder motorcycle, plays a purple baritone saxophone in the Murray Concert Band, and dissects her ice cream sandwiches and chocolate bars. The library is where Taryn feels most at home. This is her dream job; she loves collecting books and sharing their knowledge and use with others.
