Taylor completed her Masters of Science in Occupational Therapy at McMaster University, after completing her Bachelors degree in Psychology at the University of Guelph.

Since moving from Hamilton to Vancouver in 2020, Taylor has worked as a community-based OT in the Greater Vancouver area and has gained experience in chronic pain management, musculoskeletal injuries, case management, mental health, and post-concussion symptom management. Taylor enjoys working collaboratively with clients to support their meaningful engagement, and she believes in optimizing clients’ strengths and interests to help them reach their goals. Taylor aims to support and empower her clients to take an active role in managing their health, wellness and recovery journey.

Professional areas of interest include mental health, concussion management, ergonomics, and acquired brain injury. Taylor has completed additional training in concussion management and mild to moderate brain injury rehabilitation, and she is always looking for ways to enhance her practice knowledge to better support her clients.

Outside of work, Taylor enjoys spending quality time with friends and family, soaking up sun at the beach, being active outdoors and exploring all that BC has to offer!
