Welcome Cub Families!

I am Nurse Taylor, your child's school nurse. I have been a registered nurse for 5 years, with this being my 2nd year of school nursing. Before working in a school setting, I worked in surgery, specializing in cardiovascular surgery.  

My boyfriend and I have two Australian Sheppards, Jack (12) and Maizy (4). In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family, friends, and fur babies, traveling, watching my nieces/nephew at all of their events, crossfit, and being outside. 

I can't wait to get to know everyone this year! Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or concerns.
