TAYLOR
I spend my days with my cat, Nike; my corgi, Adidas; and my miniature wiener dog, Puma. In my free time I enjoy pickle ball, baking sourdough bread, decorating my home, traveling, attending music festivals, and rooting for the Texas Longhorns and Dallas Cowboys any chance I get. 🤘🏼 Football is life!
WHY DO YOU LOVE WORKING AT CTPO?
I LOVE FIXING KIDS’ BONES! Pediatrics is the best field in the world. Kids are hilarious, honest, and resilient. Nothing is more rewarding than performing a successful reduction in the ED and saving the patient from having surgery.
I tore my ACL twice as a teen which drove me to become an athletic trainer and on to an orthopedic PA. Who knew that an injury so long ago would lead me to where I am now.
