About

Taylor joined the staff in Spring 2021. In her role as basic needs coordinator, she connects students, faculty and staff to a variety of resources that fulfill their basic needs.

Taylor is from St. Louis, Missouri, and earned both her undergraduate degree in liberal arts and her Master of Social Work degree right here at UMKC. During her time at UMKC, she has also worked with the Registration and Records Office as scheduling coordinator. In her spare time, she enjoys reading, cooking new recipes from Pinterest and the occasional trip to St. Louis to spend time with her family and friends — and visit Imo’s Pizza.
