Taylor revels in cultivating spaces where queer people thrive. 

Born and raised in Portland, Oregon, Taylor holds a B.A. in English from Stanford University. They spent a decade in the Bay Area working in queer arts and entertainment, publishing, queer nightlife, and higher education. They curated 2SLGBTQIA+ educational materials for GSAs in K-12 schools, produced monthly queer dance party/fundraisers for Oakland’s QTPOC community, and increased branding exposure for POC, queer, trans, disabled and immigrant authors. Taylor returned to Stanford as Assistant Director of Queer Student resources, leading a multi-year strategic plan centering the needs of Black, Indigenous, Latine, Asian, trans, queer, non-binary, immigrant, and working-class students. Now the founder of Queer Nourish, Taylor specializes in working with queer professionals, community centers, and businesses dedicated to co-creating inclusive environments. 

Taylor approaches their work with thoughtfulness, joy, and creativity. They’re thrilled to be back home in Portland and be in community with you.
