Taylor grew up in the most southern region of Alabama on the eastern short of Mobile Bay in Daphne, Alabama. Taylor fell in love with the field of neurology in her first two years of medical school through her didactic classes. It was during her clinical education rotations that her interest in neurology collided with the deep joy she gained from working with children, and she knew that her future lay in child neurology.

Taylor is a devoted LSU Tiger and New Orleans Saints fan. However, she uses some of her free time now to cultivate what will surely become a lifelong loyalty to the first hockey team she's ever encountered, the Nashville Predators. This is much to the chagrin of her husband, a dedicated Tampa Bay Lightnings fan.
