Bio
Hi everyone! I'm Taylor, and I am passionate about building meaningful relationships, creating strategic partnerships, and using storytelling to make a positive impact. My experience spans higher education, healthcare, public safety, nonprofit organizations, and community outreach, where I've led communication strategies, planned events, cultivated partnerships, and developed initiatives that connect organizations with the communities they serve. I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology from Wiley University and my MBA from Jarvis Christian University, and I'm currently pursuing a Doctor of Strategic Leadership. I believe the best marketing is rooted in authenticity, collaboration, and purpose, and I enjoy creating strategies that not only inform but also inspire action. Outside of work, you'll usually find me serving in my community, creating fun content, singing, spending time with my family, or searching for my next favorite pair of shoes. I'm excited to learn from this group, share ideas, and connect with fellow professionals who are passionate about making an impact.
