About Taylor
My life has been all about taking big leaps and making major pivots - all to live more authentically and find greater meaning in my life and career. After 6 years in the active duty military, I decided to pursue a legal career. I attended Stanford Law School as a Knight-Hennessey Scholar, am currently working as a Ninth Circuit clerk, and will join a plaintiffs' firm next year. I'm a proud Pacific Northwest native, but I have lived and traveled worldwide as an Air Force Intelligence Officer. In my free time, I'm an avid adventurer. I love trail running, mountain biking, and exploring new places.
Why do I coach?
Incredible coaches and mentors helped me navigate this journey. My passion lies in helping others do the same. My expertise lies in working with transitioning military members and vets, but I also love helping young professionals and senior undergrads imagine and plan for a future in law or pursing other graduate or fellowship programs. I take a holistic approach with my clients -- I want to understand your goals, ambitions, and priorities. How can I help make your dreams a reality?
