Taylor is excited to join the Resource Centre as a Community Development Program Assistant, working alongside Chris to support local initiatives and strengthen community connections. With a background in Recreation Therapy, she has led programs for seniors in day centers and care homes and has worked closely with individuals experiencing mental health challenges and addictions in homeless shelters across BC.

Originally from Ontario, Taylor has lived in many communities, gaining diverse experience in social services. Now based here on the Sunshine Coast on contract work, she plans to return to school to pursue social work with a focus on geriatric care. Her goal is to advocate for all aspects of well-being — physical, mental, emotional, and social — ensuring that individuals have access to the resources and support needed to achieve a better quality of life and well-being. She believes everyone should be treated with dignity and respect while she continues promoting social justice and equity.

Outside of work, she enjoys exploring new places while spending time outdoors, a good book, yummy food, and connecting with the people who make each community unique.
