- How Taylor’s journey from classroom teacher to Director of Strategic Implementation shapes the way she leads complex strategy and project management work
- How earning her MBA while working full time strengthened her “measurement muscle” and helped her shift from completing tasks to truly owning outcomes for clients
- What it really looks like to design and implement programs like the Flight Forward aviation internship program and She Built This City’s pre-apprenticeship expansion
- How Taylor approaches relaunching programs, managing stakeholders, and moving ideas from concept to execution
- Why time management, trusting the process, and building real relationships remain core to meaningful social impact work
