About Taylor

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I’m an aggressive, team‑focused leader who plays to win. I take charge, make bold moves, and do whatever it takes to create opportunities for my team.

Can you provide a brief description of your mentality or personality?

Focused and driven leader who stays locked in during competition and always brings energy to lift my team.

Are you involved in any clubs, organizations, or have you received any non-sport awards?

Yes. I am a two-time City Champion in Shot Put and broke the school record both years. Outside of athletics, I am actively involved in my church, where I am currently going through confirmation and regularly participate in community service projects.

What skills or qualities have you developed, such as leadership, teamwork, or community service?

Through my involvement in athletics and my church, I’ve developed strong leadership and teamwork. I’m active in community service, where I’ve learned the importance of serving others. I also work as a mentor and help coach softball clinics for younger athletes, which has strengthened my leadership, patience, and ability to positively influence others while giving back to the sport.

Have you faced any significant challenges? If so, please describe.

Yes. I dealt with Osgood-Schlatter for two years, which limited my ability to run, jump, and perform movements essential for softball. Despite the pain, I stayed committed to my recovery and continued working hard. Even when my abilities were questioned, I proved I could be a productive shortstop and pitcher by staying mentally tough and giving everything I had to my team.

What type of college are you looking for?

I’m looking for a college where education is a top priority and where I can find a strong overall fit academically, athletically, and personally. Being able to continue playing softball while earning a quality education is very important to me, and I’m committed to excelling in both.
