Taryn Riddle is from Dallas, Texas and recently graduated from Harvard University with a degree in Economics and South Asian Studies. Her academic interests are focused on social entrepreneurship, specifically the capability of both nonprofits and for-profit organizations to contribute to UN Sustainable Development Goals. She enjoys studying this on a macro scale (international development and poverty economics) and on a micro scale (gaining experience with executive management of organizations/businesses, working with projects on Sustainable Development Goals). Outside of academics, she played cello in Harvard's Baroque Chamber orchestra, directed Model UN conferences around the world, and worked as an analyst for Harvard College Consulting Group.
