Ask me about: Anything! From an industry perspective, I’m best equipped to answer questions about healthcare operations in both the ambulatory and inpatient space, as well as what it’s like working with/for health systems. Happy to share my journey and help fellow-KFBS students navigate their careers in any way I can.
Fun fact: My husband and I had to cancel our wedding in the Spring of 2020 just thirty days before it took place due to COVID-19. We ended up getting married on the original day, in a park with just us 2 and an Atrium pastoral care minister (our original officiant was unable to make the trip due to travel restrictions); it ended up being a very different but amazing day!
Biography: Taylor grew up in Overland Park, KS, and ventured to North Carolina to attend the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill as an undergraduate. At UNC she developed a deep passion for healthcare while earning a Bachelor of Science in Public Health with a major in Health Policy and Management from Gillings School of Public Health.
After school, Taylor worked as a healthcare consultant in Huron Consulting Group’s Clinical Operations division. In this position, she traveled around the country helping health systems reduce their length of stay and achieve operational efficiency. After three years with Huron, Taylor moved back to Chapel Hill to pursue an MBA at UNC’s Kenan-Flagler Business School, which she completed in May 2019.
Post-graduation, Taylor completed an Administrative Fellow with Atrium Health under the preceptorship of their Central Division President. She transitioned from the Fellowship to Director of Heart Transplant and Mechanical Circulatory Support (MCS) with Atrium’s Sanger Heart & Vascular Institute in 2020. Her role has since expanded to Director of Cardiovascular Programs, which includes administrative responsibility for Heart Transplant & MCS, Structural Heart, Atrial Fibrillation Center of Excellence, Sports Cardiology and Cardio-Oncology.
