ALL ABOUT TAYLOR

AREA OF STUDY: Biochemistry

WHY TAYLOR CHOSE IU EAST: "I chose IU East because from the moment I stepped on campus, it felt like home. It was a warm, welcoming group of people, and I knew that being a regional campus would give it a much more one-on-one-based classroom, and they would be able to lead me in the right direction for my future."

MOST MEMORABLE VOLLEYBALL MOMENT: Being part of Benton Central's first sectional championship team in 36 years during senior season of high school.
