Taryn is an Arizona-based freelance writer specializing in experiential travel, outdoor recreation, and food and beverages (namely, wine and beer).

If you're looking for content on weddings, fashion, beauty, hospitality, sports, real estate, parenting/family, automotive, or health and wellness, Taryn has a great deal of writing experience in those niches, too.

She has more than 12 years of experience working in PR, brand strategy, and content marketing. While her career used to be heavily focused on grassroots efforts and campaigns, in the last couple of years it's shifted almost entirely to digital marketing and content strategy.

Where Taryn really shines is SEO. She's been a freelance writer and blogger since long before it was a "thing," and she's fortunately grown and adapted along with it. Taryn is extremely well-versed in both on- and off-page SEO, content and brand strategy, and all of the various (and ever-changing!) marketing strategies including social media, Pinterest, influencer, affiliate, and email.

Over 100 of Taryn's articles rank in the #1-3 spots in Google SERPs, bringing her clients a great deal of organic search traffic. In addition, she has a handful of articles in Google's special "Interesting finds" and "Discover" sections — so the proof is in the pudding, so to speak, when it comes to proving her SEO chops. If you're interested in Taryn providing keyword research, she uses a combination of KeySearch and SEMRush.

Taryn writes for several high-profile clients in the travel/tourism, hospitality, and F&B industries, including Cruise America RV rentals, Coast Hotels, The Wander Club, ActionHub, and PHOENIX, Glamp, and ROVA Magazines.
