Taryn was born and raised in Los Angeles, specifically the Valley, and she’s endlessly grateful to come from a city that shaped her creativity and confidence. Growing up with a single mom and helping her in the kitchen while she catered events played a huge role in her upbringing, teaching her hard work, warmth, and the joy of feeding others. People are always surprised to learn she didn’t get her driver’s license until 23, but she makes up for it with plenty of personality. Reading comics on WEBTOON brings her joy and taps into her inner child, reminding her of happy moments from high school. If her personality had a theme song, it would be “I Like That” by Janelle Monáe
