Experience

During this time, she also gained valuable experience working PRN in local skilled nursing facilities (SNF) and home health settings. She eventually transitioned to a full-time position at Chatham Health and Rehab (SNF), where she focused on managing more complex diagnoses and conditions.

Philosophy

Taylor is committed to providing personalized, patient-centered care. She views the rehabilitation process as a partnership between herself and the patient, where open communication, mutual respect, and collaboration are essential for success. Whether treating orthopedic or neurological conditions, she prioritizes an individualized approach that combines hands-on techniques, progressive exercises, and education to empower patients in their recovery. By remaining adaptable and continuously learning, she strives to stay at the forefront of evidence-based practices and ensure that every patient she works with receives the highest standard of care.

Outside of her professional life, Taylor is passionate about maintaining an active lifestyle and being involved in activities that prioritize her health and physical well-being. Since moving to Waldorf, she has began planning a wedding and spent time with her fiancé (John), and three dogs (Bently, Beans, and Charlie). In their free time, they enjoy exploring local farmer’s markets and antique stores.  Taylor is excited to continue making connections and building her future during her time here in Southern Maryland.
