My path to today 🏄♀️
I'm a community-loving human 24/7. 10-year-old Taylor would think it's SO cool that I bring people together for work.
📍 Now — I recently became the Head of Community @ Dreamers & Doers, where I lead a highly curated network that amplifies extraordinary women entrepreneurs and leaders. Think of it as a VIP lounge for heart-centered women building businesses they care deeply about…with glitter walls and confetti raining down. I help them connect, share ideas, and thrive.
I’m also proudly serving as a Strategic Advisory Board Member for NYU’s Initiative on Purpose & Flourishing, led by Suzy Welch. I’m a big believer that life should be lived in line with our values—and that’s exactly what this initiative is all about.
📍 Before — I worked as the Head of Community @ Groove, the online coworking app for work-from-home business owners and creatives. I joined as the first full-time hire in June 2021, working alongside the co-founders to build a community-led product.
Groove was all about getting shit done and having fun. We grew from 23 beta testers to hundreds of paying members worldwide. I joined because I saw how broken work-from-home was without a strong social component, and I was a huge fan of social accountability.
From writing fun emails to hosting virtual events, I created content that kept our growing community engaged and connected. I learned firsthand that purposeful social rituals and daily interactions were key to driving real impact. Members didn’t just complete tasks—they built friendships, collaborated on projects, and celebrated milestones together.
Groove became a space where people felt truly seen, carving their own career paths aligned with their values and personalities. It was incredibly rewarding to watch our community thrive, with members landing dream clients, making brave decisions, and supporting each other through highs and lows.

📍 Before that — I was the Director of Digital Marketing for best-selling author Seth Godin, where I built and grew cohort-based courses and online events under the Akimbo and altMBA brands, serving 25k+ entrepreneurs and creatives. I quickly learned that intentional online spaces can spark some truly deep, meaningful connections.
My work focused on building projects with a strong focus on storytelling and community. I also had the privilege of interviewing amazing leaders like Simon Sinek, Steven Pressfield, and Bernadette Jiwa.
Hands down, the project I’m most proud of from my Akimbo era was The Emerging Leaders Program — a 5-day online leadership workshop for curious thinkers ages 16-25. It was the community experience I wished I had in college to connect with entrepreneurial-minded peers. Over three sessions, 350 young leaders from across the globe graduated, empowered to embrace possibility and make change happen. Some even went on to write books, start businesses, create podcasts, and more. The alumni reflect on how transformative it was here.

📍 Even earlier than that — I mean how much time do you have? 😜 I'm driven to do things differently and live a full life that feels so me. 🌈 I believe in connecting the dots of my wavy path...and that the collection of my experiences has led me to where I am today.
I've worked on dozens of projects along the way and did college differently than most people. I filled my days with connection and learning outside of the classroom. Heck, I chose to go to Penn State, the school with the most undergraduate students in the country, because of my desire to better understand humans and meet as many as possible! 😂 And, yes I will respond to the "WE ARE" chant anytime, anywhere.
If you want to hear more...ask me about the start-up I worked on that helped folks who are non-verbal speak for the first time, the community craft studio where I sold my 'Sonder Connections' jewelry, the ladybug rocks I spread across the East Coast, or the rituals I created as a camp counselor.
