Empowering teams to elevate potential.
HR doesn’t have to be complicated or overwhelming. At Taryn M Consulting, I help organizations cut through the noise, navigate complex workplace challenges, and build teams that work well together. Through flexible, HR-on-Demand and advisory services, clients get the right level of support—when they need it—without the overhead of a full-time HR department.
​
With more than 20 years of experience across human resources, program management, and executive support, I’ve partnered with organizations to strengthen HR foundations, empower leaders, and turn operational gaps into practical, people-centered solutions. My background allows me to blend strategy with execution—so HR doesn’t just sound good on paper, it actually works in practice.
​
I hold a Bachelor of Science in Psychology with a minor in Business Administration from the University of Oregon, along with professional certifications including SHRM-CP, Certified Professional in Disability Management (CPDM), and a Certificate in Contract Management from the University of California, Irvine. I also continually invest in industry-specific training to stay current and bring added value to my clients.
Beyond credentials, what sets me apart is my ability to make HR feel approachable, practical, and genuinely useful. Clients trust me because I understand their industries, respect their realities, and offer clear, honest guidance grounded in real-world experience. I make HR work for the business—not the other way around.
​
With me as your HR partner, you gain someone you can call for thoughtful advice, steady guidance through tough conversations, and support in building more engaged, effective teams. At the end of the day, HR is about helping people and organizations reach their full potential—and that’s exactly what Taryn M Consulting is here to do.
​
When I’m not working, you’ll usually find me outdoors with our toddler son, or my two adult bonus sons, watching Oregon Duck football, walking our wiggly special-needs boxer, traveling or soaking up much-needed girl time with my mom and sister.
Taryn will identify the issue or opportunity, find solutions, gather feedback, adjust as needed and deliver on time and budget, all while communicating her progress each step of the way. Taryn is also fun and upbeat so she is a great addition to any team!

My story.
My professional life as a consultant started in March of 2020. In the midst of a Global Pandemic, I set off to start a new career back in HR, leaving behind my role as Learning Program Manager behind. After two-days on the job, I found myself unemployed. At the time, I was in panic mode, now I look back and remind myself it was kismet.
​
After reaching out to my former colleagues, friends, and acquaintances the journey of TMC began. I started off updating job descriptions, providing a little virtual assistance & Zoom meeting support, which led me to reviewing and updating policies & employee handbooks. From there I was offered the role as an Interim Director of HR and Risk Management for a special district in Oregon, along with updating and creating a market based compensation program for a water utility in Southern Oregon and facilitating Diversity Equity and Inclusion Conversations for an electric utility on the coast.
​
I am not sure where my journey will head to next but I am looking forward to the opportunity to connect with you.
