Taylor is a dedicated middle school physical education teacher and coach with a deep passion for working with students and athletes. Her teaching journey began as a substitute teacher at Granby Elementary School, and she is now in her second year at East Grand Middle School. Alongside her teaching, Taylor has developed a strong love for coaching—particularly volleyball and track—finding joy in helping students grow both in skill and confidence. She also volunteers with younger age groups, coaching third and fourth grade basketball and volleyball, and finds fulfillment in building foundational skills and fostering a love for teamwork at an early age.

Beyond education and coaching, Taylor is an avid photographer with a special interest in landscapes and sports. This creative pursuit, nurtured and supported by her late father, has inspired her to pursue a master’s degree in digital marketing to expand her skill set and open new professional opportunities. Taylor hopes to blend her passion for photography with marketing, transforming a meaningful hobby into a potential career path.

Lieutenant Jeff Delgado states, “I find Taylor’s commitment to her students and athletes inspiring, and her drive to further her education commendable. She consistently demonstrates qualities of leadership, perseverance, and compassion which are essential attributes for any successful individual and makes her an ideal candidate for this scholarship.”
