About Me
I'm Taylor and I grew up in Cedar Hills, Utah. I was born in Logan, Utah & moved to Crestview, Florida shortly after. I have two younger brothers who love sports, & as the only girl, I wanted to tag along. That started my love of sports & wanting to be in on the action. I've known what I wanted to do since a sophomore in high school and learned early this wasn't just a job to me, it was life.
​
I am a lover of all DC sports--my dads side of the family is from there so I latched on to their teams--since there isn't much to root for in Utah. I am an avid gym-goer, joke enthusiast & baseball lover. If i'm not watching sports, you can find me at a beach or collecting post cards.
