Taylor started her career in radio while she was in university. Taylor volunteered at CFMU - McMaster Universities community station. In her 2nd year at MacMaster an opportunity to work the night how at a popular Top 40 station was available. Taylor became the board op for Wayne Williams one of the top DJ's in the country for Top 40 radio. She learned the ins and out of the business as Wayne was her mentor. The station at the time was called Dance 108 and changed to Energy 108 then eventually Energy Radio. Taylor learned the ropes from the evening team. 2 years later after graduating Mac with a Kinesiology degree she started to work full time at Energy Radio. She was offered a position in the Canadian coast guard at the same time as her radio gig. Taylor chose radio. 2 months after graduating Taylor was working overnights and started doing traffic on the morning show. She would work 18 hour days at the station.

When a full time opportunity came up in Woodstock and London for Energy Radio - Taylor packed her bags and moved to SouthWestern Ontario. Her stay there was short. After 18 months in the market she was poached to come to Toronto to KISS 92.5 to be their swing announcer and live club DJ. Not too many women were doing the Live to air scene in Toronto. Taylor had learned from her mentor Wayne Williams on what to do in the clubs. She was working 5 nights a week in several clubs in Toronto and the GTA as an MC and Live to Air host.

After KISS 92.5 Taylor moved onto CHUM 104.5 as their evening announcer. She was there for 7 years before having her first child. When she returned to work she quickly left and took the evening host that was filling in for her. They began a Drive show on CHUM's competition the newly launched Virgin Radio. Taylor and her friend and co-host Chris Biggs were successful at Virgin. However, in radio things change quick. The station changed management and most of the staff was let to. Taylor wen back to KISS to work with her female mentor Karen Steele. Chris Biggs was offered a morning rock show in another market. The 2 remain friends.

Once Taylor was back at KISS she had 3 children at the time. She worked mid days and interviewed celebrities and other creators for the radio station as well as for The Cinplex movie theatre pre show. Taylor had got her wish to be ont the big screen! Just before the movies though.

While all the moving and shaking for radio stations was happening Taylor who would appear on TV as a expert was asked to audition for a new daytime show called Steven and Chris. They were looking for 3 women to be on a panel with Christopher. Taylor was hired and the show lasted 9 Seasons. While she was on the show she still did radio full time.

Kiss lasted for 4 years then Taylor's. Taylor then moved onto to CHUM again and for a short 3 week stint was "lent' to Virgin radio for their morning show as their host was getting married and they needed someone recognizable on the show for when she was away. Virign and CHUM were competition. However, at this time they were owned by the same company.

While Taylor as at CHUM she decided to stay as a freelance creator. Something many people were not doing at the time. However, this allowed her to stay on TV and start to discover the world of social media and create content for brands on social.

Currently, Taylor is still freelancing and can be heard on over 40 stations across Canada and over 400 in the US as an imaging voice.
