“As a 2020 Emerging Leader Participant, I had the opportunity to develop and mature within my decision making, learning the importance of always making “Value Based Decisions.” These teachings motivated me to move forward with confidence that my career in collegiate athletics has been a decision based on passion and desire to see students succeed. I would like to continue forging that path at a university or athletic conference that will allow me to utilize the skills and knowledge for which I have obtained and grow within the industry.” – Tiffany Taylor
