Evan Taranta

Evan Taranta is the mom of four kids with three currently attending St. Paul the Apostle (3rd, 2nd, and DK). She is active in the parish community and has served as a room parent and a member of the auction team.

She has since worked as an in house state and federal lobbyist for several companies and does public and government affairs work. Evan and her husband Ethan lived in Houston and Minneapolis before making their way back to California.

Evan also serves on the Board of Directors of Union Rescue Mission -- one of LA's oldest and largest homeless shelters on Skid Row. She is passionate about the mission and currently chairs the philanthropy committee.
