5 Things About Me: Taryn Rawlings

1. I currently live in Portland, Oregon where I was born, raised, and attended college.
2. I have two pitbulls (Rocksy and Tank) that defy the bad rep of being viscous- they are the biggest sweethearts!
3. I’m a runner and from Portland so yes, I do indeed love brunch and coffee.
4. I watched the whole new season of Stranger Things in one sitting.
5. When I was young I thought I was Native American since I was born here, I thought “yeah I’m native to america”… nobody will let me live that one down.
