About

Sports is my passion. I grew up playing, watching and now hope to begin a career writing about them. I am currently completing my honours B.A. in journalism from the University of Toronto, and my diploma in journalism from Centennial College.

This past summer (May 2012 - August 2012) I completed the Bleacher Report's sport writing internship.

    Thanks for becoming a fan, Taylor! I really enjoyed your "Sharapova's Hot Start" article. Also, I like how you created your profile and added all of that extra info. I'm a big golf fan too and saw that you 'the greatest game ever played' on your movies list, which I think is pretty great for a golf movie, but I'm more of a tin cup or caddyshack guy myself. You play golf at all? Thanks again!
