(they/them)
Before starting as “Create to Activate” Project Coordinator, Taylor worked at Huckleberry as a Community Health Educator. Along with facilitating weekly LGBTQ+ support groups for middle and high schoolers, they taught health education workshops across SFUSD on topics including gender identity, consent, contraceptive methods, and substance use.
Taylor graduated UC Berkeley (2023), studying Cognitive Science (B.A.) and Film and Media (B.A.). They are particularly interested in understanding how media consumption impacts social perception and implicit biases. They lived and worked in the BSC, where they learned first-hand about harm reduction principles.
They now live in Oakland with their two rats, Angel and Ducky. They are an enthusiastic clown collector, relentless blaster of breakbeats, and aimless BART doodler. Taylor believes that creating art helps foster a deeper understanding of self and surroundings, exploring mediums like sewing, music production, multimedia collage, graphic design, illustration, and experimental filmmaking.
