  Associate Director of Residence Life

  Taylor graduated from Youngstown State University in Ohio with a degree in Psychology and moved to NYC in Fall 2013.

Using her interests in people and communication, Taylor enjoys getting to know residents and referring them to lesser known NYC landmarks and great food.
