Taryn McMillan

Hi! I’m Taryn. It’s a pleasure to meet you.I started learning game development in 2020 and haven’t looked back.Before learning Unity and C# I studied Early Modern History as a doctoral student and I was a freelance writer. I’d always dreamed of learning how to code, but I never thought it was in the cards for me since I didn’t have a formal background in STEM. I occasionally dabbled in HTML and CSS but never pursued coding seriously until I happened to stumble upon game development courses in 2020. That was my first introduction to Unity and it started me on a whole new career path as a developer.I’ve always loved teaching and was a Teaching Assistant for undergraduate Humanities students for many years. As an instructor, I enjoy seeing students achieve what they thought was too difficult or even impossible for them in the past.I'm a mom of two young girls and can't wait to teach them how to code. In my spare time, I like writing fiction, playing video games (of course!) and drinking copious amounts of coffee.
