Taylor is a staff writer and reporter at The Frisc, supported by the California Local News Fellowship. At The Frisc, she covers education, vulnerable communities, public health and the overlap of all of these. She earned her Masters at UC Berkeley's Graduate School of Journalism in 2025, and is pretty unironically sure that storytelling can save the world.

Taylor earned her B.A. in theatre from Columbia College, and began her career as an actor in Chicago. She toured with Catharsis Productions as a sexual assault prevention educator, performing over 350 educational shows for 50,000+ military service members across the United States.

Taylor has had leadership roles in nonprofit communications, including as director of communications and development at a local community kitchen and assistant director of communications at the Chicago Council of Global Affairs, where she led media relations for three research teams, including the former U.S. Ambassador to NATO.

Taylor now lives in the Bay Area and joyfully whispers “dog” whenever she sees a dog in public.
