Taylor is a Master's student in Wildlife Biology & Conservation at the University of Alaska-Fairbanks. She would define herself as an "interdisciplinarian," seeking to understand social-ecological problems from multiple perspectives. Her passion naturally falls into community-based wildlife conservation. The Master's program at UAF offered her the invaluable experience of engaging with an indigenous community throughout her research. She is currently pursuing a career in boundary work - bridging the gaps among researchers, communities, stakeholders, and decision-makers, and communicating effectively across those boundaries.   She grew up on a small farm in Fort Collins, Colorado, alongside cats, dogs, horses, bunnies, and the occasional hamster.  She enjoys road biking, hiking, sea kayaking, and berry-picking in the summer, and she survives the Fairbanks winters by cooking up curries and cozying up with her partner and their cat.
