Taylor's love for Irish dance started at the age of eight, when she was first introduced to Irish Dance at her father's work party. She knew, even from a very young age, that Irish dance was going to be a big part of her future. Taylor trained with the Shelley School of Irish Dance for over 10 years, competing as a championship dancer as young as 14. After graduating from Riverton High School in 2009, Taylor turned her attention from competing to teaching. She currently has over 10 years of teaching experience. Some of her teaching highlights include 10 years of studio teaching at the Shelley School of Irish Dance, teaching all levels of Irish dance at Brigham Young University, as well as choreographing and teaching for the Westlake High School ballroom dance team. Taylor has taught all ages and levels of dancers over the years and has developed a passion for helping individuals set, work toward, and achieve their goals while still having fun!

Taylor was the 2009 recipient of the BYU Dance Talent Award for her excellence in Irish Dance. She performed with the BYU International Folk Dance Ensemble for 2 years, performing and touring across the United States. During her collegiate career, Taylor continued teaching for the Shelley School of Irish Dance. She also taught the BYU Irish dance courses for several years and helped manage, teach, and choreograph for the BYU Irish dance club. In 2014, Taylor graduated from BYU with a BS in Exercise & Wellness, accompanied with a minor in World Dance.

Taylor successfully passed the TCRG examination in 2016, with honors, held in Phoenix, Arizona. Receiving this certification allows Taylor the ability to run a certified Irish dance school in Utah through the Irish commission. It has always been a dream of Taylor's to become a certified Irish dance instructor and studio owner. She is thrilled to be involved in the Irish Dance community here in Utah.
