Taryn provided the Chicago Sun-Times with quality video packages on less than 24-hours notice. She's a blunt force object and does whatever it takes to get the story and make it work, despite the endless amount of logistical challenges that the field throws at her.

What can one say about Taryn? She has an eye for the content and an instinctual understanding of visual storytelling. With but a few words of direction, she will grasp and deliver the content you need.
However, it is her working attitude and ability to "light up" a room with her personality that makes her the greatest asset to any team. She quickly became the backbone of mine, and morale was never as high as when she was on the job.
