About taylor
background
for several years I worked in the realm of student affairs, events, and operations, developing creative problem solving skills and serving as a liaison between students and administration. my unique position has encouraged me to think critically and thoroughly when facing issues, an approach I bring to my work in historic preservation. my interests in preservation lie not just in physical restoration of historic places, but in the preservation and management of people and cultures entwined in those places.
i have experience designing processes, templates, and managing small teams under customer success and events operations. if you are a small business, non profit, or individual consultant that would needs operations work (small or large scale), please reach out to me at preservationsideb@gmail.com. I’d be happy to talk possibilities and pricing with you!
