Currently halfway through her Masters at UC Berkeley's Graduate School of Journalism, Taylor is pretty unironically sure that storytelling can save the world. In her first eight months as a journalist, she has published stories on mental health, police violence, climate change and the Israel-Hamas war.

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 Oakland, CA and joyfully whispers “dog” whenever she sees a dog in public.
