Taryn Arcement
By Ashley & Andrew LeSaicherre | August 20, 2022
Meet Taryn Arcement!
Taryn was born and raised in Chalmette, Louisiana but moved to the Northshore after Hurricane Katrina. She is the middle child of three. She has two brothers. She graduated from Loranger High School in 2016, and received her Marketing degree from Southeastern Louisiana University in three short years. She met her fiancé, Sean, when she was randomly invited to his going away party when he was moving to Hawaii in 2016. They talked the whole time he was there, and started dating when he moved back home a few months later. They are busy planning their wedding, which will be in March of 2023! They have one dog named Haley. Taryn is currently a Digital Marketing Specialist at Sport Optics.
We want to thank Taryn for spending some time with us and letting us get to know about her life and her love of the area.
