The daughter of two U.S. Air Force veterans, Taylor grew up living abroad in Italy, England, Japan, and across the United States.

At Georgetown, she is building expertise in foreign policy and security that she hopes to apply to future diplomatic and community-focused initiatives throughout the region.
