Say hello to Taryn Jackson, our marketing and sales associate! Taryn has been working behind-the-scenes to market our books to schools, and this year, she will be crafting our overall strategy to expand our marketing and publicity outreach. We are so lucky to work with this warm and generous educational professional. She also makes 🔥 reels at @tarynjwrites! More about Taryn: From the beginning of her career, Taryn knew she wanted to spend her days surrounded by children. Over the course of ten years, she advanced from a middle school English teacher to the role of an assistant principal at a charter school in her area. She holds a bachelor’s degree in English with a Concentration in Writing and Rhetoric and a master's degree in Educational Leadership. Her years as an educator have been filled with milestones and memories, which helped her identify the importance of early literacy. Now as an Education Consultant, Taryn finds joy in supporting schools to target their specific needs with her unique coaching style. On a recent trip to her local bookstore, Taryn shared a moment with her daughter that validated her passion for expanding school bookshelves to include culturally relevant text. Her six-year-old daughter, Kenzi, was elated to see so many culturally driven picture books and said “Mom, look at all of the brown skin girls. They look just like me!”. Taryn resides in Port St. Lucie, Florida with her partner in parenting crime, Will. They have two children, Chase and Kenzi, not to mention a variety of furry and scaly animal friends. The entire crew considers themselves animal enthusiasts and love spending time outdoors in search of new adventures. https://www.instagram.com/p/CcQW4BvOGiT/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
