Bio
Before Wentworth:
  • Orange County All-Stars team member
  • Most Improved Player award recipient
  • National Honor Society
  • 4x Scholar-Athlete 
  • 4x High Honor Roll/Honor Roll
 
Why WIT?
  • I chose Wentworth for a variety of academic and athletic reasons. The culture of family on the volleyball team is undeniable and made me want to be apart of their Leopard family. Ultimately, I chose Wentworth due to their numerous opportunities such as the co-ops, abroad programs, and the one of a kind one-year Master's program.
 
Future Goals?
  • Since a very young age I knew that my goal was to be an architect. As I’ve grown, a career in older construction management has become one of those goals and I hope to one day have my own firm with high-end projects and clients that my team and I can work with.
 
Favorite Food?
  • I have so many favorite foods, but especially being from California, an In-n-Out burger has to take the crown.
 
Personal:
  • Daughter of Jeff and Tandy Taylor
