About Me

Hello! My name is Taryn McMillen, and I am an emerging professional who is looking to grow my education and skills within the art world by seeking experience in the field.

Currently, I am working at Taylor & Harris Auctions as an art specialist. I was also a 2020 Getty Marrow Undergraduate Intern, and a 2020 graduate from California State University, Long Beach with a BA in Art History.

I am interested in pursuing a career in the world of cultural institutions, and providing adequate representation for minority groups. I am particularly interested in the conservation of art and artifacts, and have had the opportunity to gain experience working with amazing objects in my work opportunities.

I consider myself a life-long learner, and I enjoy bettering myself by always learning new skills. I have studied both Spanish and French, and I am currently learning and practicing Korean. I also enjoy traveling and learning about other cultures respectfully. I am committed to the greater representation of minority groups and people of color, as well as women’s empowerment.
