About Taylor


Bio

Hi, I'm Taylor! I am a second-year neuroscience postdoctoral fellow who is passionate about aiding students in reaching their full academic potential through personalized, consistent mentorship. In 2018, I received my BA from the University of Pennsylvania with a major in Biology and minor in Psychology. That fall, I began graduate school at Drexel University College of Medicine where I earned my MS and PhD in Neuroscience in 2020 and 2023, respectively.

Hi, I'm Taylor! I am a second-year neuroscience postdoctoral fellow who is passionate about aiding students in reaching their full academic potential through personalized, consistent mentorship. In 2018, I received my BA from the University of Pennsylvania with a major in Biology and minor in Psychology. That fall, I began graduate school at Drexel University College of Medicine where I earned my MS and PhD in Neuroscience in 2020 and 2023, respectively.

While specializing in STEM courses, I also have a deep passion for college/graduate school admissions counseling, specifically in essay and personal statement writing. In my third and fourth years of graduate school, I served on our Admissions and Recruitment Committee, developing deep insight on the criteria and qualities that distinguish outstanding applicants. Further, I have served as a personal statement mentor to five students, all of whom were accepted into graduate school on their first application cycle. Combined with my personal experience navigating admissions cycles, these roles equipped me with a comprehensive understanding of how to become a standout applicant and successfully secure admission to top programs.

Outside of admissions counseling, I enjoy tutoring in various subjects. I currently tutor Algebra I and Geometry, and I am also very well-versed in Biology, Psychology, and Neuroscience. In terms of research, I am highly trained in thesis and manuscript writing, experimental design and execution, and in data analysis.

My approach is patient, engaging, and tailored to each student. I take the time to understand individual learning needs, explain concepts clearly, and build confidence at a comfortable pace. I enjoy adapting to different learning styles and would be honored to support you in reaching your academic goals.

Essay Writing

Essay Writing

Over the past five years, I have supported students in crafting compelling essays for graduate school admissions, helping them articulate their unique experiences, motivations, and academic goals with clarity and confidence. My approach emphasizes strong narrative structure, authentic voice, and strategic presentation of accomplishments aligned with program expectations. This experience has consistently resulted in students submitting polished, compelling statements that strengthen their applications and highlight their full potential. Further, the strength of their applications has manifested in numerous graduate school offer letters.
Neuroscience

Neuroscience

I hold both an MS and PhD in Neuroscience from Drexel University’s College of Medicine. In my current postdoctoral position, I employ advanced neuroscience techniques while regularly reviewing scientific literature and writing research manuscripts. Through this work, I have developed a deep and comprehensive understanding of core neuroscience principles and experimental approaches.
Personal Statements

Personal Statements

I am a college and graduate school admissions coach with specific expertise in personal statement structure, development, and refinement. I served as a member of Drexel University's Admissions and Recruitment Committee for their Neuroscience graduate programs, providing me with a deep understanding of the criteria and personalization reviewers seek in these statements. Further, I have served as a mentor to 5 undergraduate students, 2 through a Black in Neuro Personal Statement Program, where I aided in crafting and editing personal statements for graduate school admissions cycles. All of my students received offer letters to their top schools!
Thesis Writing

Thesis Writing

I earned my MS and PhD in Neuroscience in 2020 and 2023, respectively, each requiring the completion and defense of a thesis. During my postdoctoral fellowship, I have also reviewed and edited portions of graduate student dissertations, helping them clearly communicate the significance of their research, experimental design, methodologies, and results. This experience combined with several years of publishing peer-reviewed manuscripts enables me to effectively help trainees convey their research.
Track & Field

Track & Field

I was a short sprinter on the University of Pennsylvania's Track and Field Team during all 4 years of my collegiate career. During this time, I held records in the 100-, 200-, and 60-meter dashes, along with records in the 4x1 and Sprint Medley relays. I have raced against some of today's top sprinters, and my training has instilled in me a deep knowledge of fundamental sprint mechanics and strength conditioning needed to excel in the sport.
