Taylor resides in Cambridge, Ontario with her partner and two fur-babies (2yr old Scottish Fold sisters) but has been living and/or working in Hamilton since 2016. In her spare time, Taylor is a ‘hobby-hopper’, but she is a big fan of crafting, colouring and cozy gaming! Taylor comes from a blended family and is very open with sharing her personal experiences (when appropriate and invited).

Taylor is currently completing her Masters of Social Work (MSW) through the University of Windsor, and holds an Honours Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) with a specialization in Child Welfare from the University of McMaster. Her areas of passion include child welfare, disability justice and neurodiversity, harm reduction, inclusivity and accessibility, social justice and anti-oppression.

Taylor would describe herself as insightful, open-minded, understanding and compassionate. She recognizes the importance of having a holistic understanding of families, including family history, interpersonal dynamics, and their motivations in order to establish meaningful goals. Taylor believes that everyone deserves to be involved, well-informed, and empowered throughout their service experience. As a person with lived experience as part of equity-seeking groups, Taylor knows that humility and a holistic appreciation for the individual, family, and support network is crucial to supporting them effectively

Taylor will be supporting macro-level efforts in the practice, while providing low cost short term counselling support to community members.
