After dedicating twelve years of her life to her family, Taryn realized it

was time to merge the abilities God has given her with the knowledge and skills she's acquired while managing a household of 5 on a budget.

She understands the need to have things done quickly and accurately.

Some of her experience includes Project Coordinator for East Texas Churches, Annual Hen Party Event Planner since 1999, many years of Event Planning & Coordination experience including Showers, Fundraisers, Holiday Parties, and Wedding Rehearsals, Ceremonies & Receptions.

Mikala is a student at The University of Texas in Tyler Texas and is majoring in Public Relations and Marketing. She is an active member in the Alpha Chi Omega sorority, where she is Vice President of Philanthropy and Fraternity Appreciation Events. She has been diligently employed since she was 16 years old, and enjoys working with people. Mikala’s interest in event planning and her love for the business started with a wedding she attended in Dallas. She caught herself not only admiring the beautiful ceremony and reception, but also the details & tasks the planners were attending to throughout the entire event. Mikala was referred to Taryn’s Errands in the summer of 2011. She is glad that Taryn has given her the opportunity to prove herself as an Assistant Event Coordinator, and is determined to do so through hard work, determination, and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ.
