Outside of her legal practice, Taylor enjoys community involvement. Taylor is a native of Effingham County and was honored as Miss Georgia’s first Miss Springfield in the Miss America Scholarship Organization. So it is only fitting that she was sworn in at the Effingham County Superior Court in Springfield, Georgia. Taylor also has a love of theater and was cast as a witness in Mercer University’s 12 Angry Jurors production. In her free time, she enjoys exploring the local Savannah area and values time spent with family and friends.
