Taylor was born in the small town of Mocksville, North Carolina where she lived until moving to Charlottesville for college at the University of Virginia. She stayed in Virginia for medical school at Eastern Virginia Medical School and then moved back to North Carolina for pediatric residency in Charlotte at Atrium Health Levine Children's Hospital.

In her free time, she enjoys running, playing sand volleyball, spending time outdoors, and a good glass of wine. She loves all things UVA sports related (Go Hoos!) and the Carolina Panthers but is excited to become a fan of the Nashville sports teams.
