Tayler is a first-year student in the Interdisciplinary Graduate Program in Genetics. She joined the lab in 2023 as a research assistant, where her work sparked her interest in genetic research and led her to continue in the lab as a graduate research assistant. With a BA in Biology and a BS in Psychology, she is broadly interested in the genetic underpinnings of mental health and neurodevelopmental conditions. Outside the lab, Tayler enjoys caring for her houseplants, spending time with friends and family, and walking her beloved chi-poo, Ivy.
