My name is Tarah Neujahr Bryan. I’m from Montana and despite living in six different states, Montana is still my heart’s home.
I have passion for many things in life, including:
- being a mama to my amazing little monkey (A) and my amazing little bear (F),
- being a mediocre to middling wife to my patiently tolerant husband (D),
- beating my chronic pain every single GD day,
- working as the Chief Marketing Officer for an amazing healthcare analytics company,
- mindfulness, meditation, Buddhism
- volunteering as a pet therapist with Belka, my “exquisite” registered therapy animal,
- Vinyasa/Power Yoga (Hot Power Yoga is my fav),
- Nebraska Football (GO BIG RED!),
- playing softball (I used to add volleyball here too, but that’s something I’ve had to give up),
- hiking fast, hiking high, and hiking alone,
- running (I try to run 5 days a week. Usually I am successful. Sometimes I’m not.),
- fluting (I play the flute, still…not just in high school. My favorite group is an orchestra, but I’ll take symphonic winds too),
- healthcare policy (weird, huh?),
- aviation (in another life I’d still be working in aviation, but healthcare is cool too),
- reading, reading (did I say that? How about reading? I’m a bibliophile.),
- outdoor life (being outside and all that means),
- animals (especially cheetahs and dogs. I’m a vegetarian for ethical reasons too.),
- hiking (and climbing mountains),
- sports,
and so much more. It’s always growing and changing.
I’m a vegetarian athlete (that’s a thing, apparently). I have two kids with amazing stories. They are both some of the strongest, most incredible people I know. How my husband and I ever got so lucky, I’ll never know.
I have a BA in History, with a minor in Sociology from Montana State–Billings and an MA in Journalism and Mass Communications (specialization in Marketing, Communications, and Advertising) from the University of Nebraska (GO BIG RED! ). I paid off my student loan debt. It’s been the third biggest accomplishment of my life. ::cough::
People tell me that I’m not shy. Those people are wrong. I’m a raging introvert.
