Taylor graduated from Radford University with a B.A. in English and went on to obtain her M.Ed In Higher Education from the University of Virginia. In her current role she advises students from all majors and years on everything related to their careers, from editing resumes and cover letters to finding the right fit for an internship or a post-graduate experience. Writing resumes and cover letters as well as interviewing is something Taylor is very familiar with as she herself just went through the process and is currently looking for opportunities after her fellowship at Elon University ends in May. Drawing on her own personal experience as well as the knowledge she has gained working in career services, Taylor hopes to educate people on how to make the best professional first impression be it in application documents or during the interview process.
