Our Team

Taryn began at The Conflict Center in 2015 as an intern working to develop our social norming program. After a personal shift from classes at TCC, she was drawn to share the same skills she’d learned around healthier ways to be in relationships with others. She combines strategies from multiple fields to create a comprehensive, strengths-based approach to macro work with young people. Currently, she directs The Conflict Center’s communication strategy and two youth engagement programs, along with leading evaluation. Outside of work, she coordinates a group that creates space for young moms to find community and mentoring and loves home projects!

A recent graduate of the CU Boulder Sociology Department, Collin loves interacting with new people and is looking forward to getting involved with the work we do here at the Conflict Center. Above all else, he loves Beyoncé and is grateful to be living in the same universe, on the same planet, and at the same time as pure royalty. He joined our team to run the front office as well as to assist managing the various classes and events we offer
