Taylor spent the most of her professional career working for Special Olympics, first with Special Olympics Florida- Miami Dade and most recently with Special Olympics Kansas. While with Special Olympics Kansas, Taylor served as the Director of Inclusion overseeing the Unified Champion Schools strategy that promotes meaningful social inclusion by bringing together students with and without disabilities to create accepting school environments. Taylor also oversaw the company’s diversity, equity, and inclusion strategy. One of her most proud accomplishments with Special Olympics Kansas is partnering with the Kansas State High School Activities Association to bring its first inclusive interscholastic sport, Unified Bowling. 

Taylor was a student athlete at both Kansas State University where she received her bachelor’s degree in psychology and on the basketball team at Barry University where she received her master’s degree in sport, exercise, and performance psychology. Taylor recently completed her second master’s degree from the University of Kansas in Leadership in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.

In Taylor’s free time, she enjoys spending time reading lots of books, going to the gym, eating, and snuggling with her husky lab Lola!
