Meet Taylor

Taylor Saxton was born and raised in Atlanta, GA, and lives there currently. She has served in technology for the course of four years and sees it as a huge growth area and avenue for today’s youth. Taylor has worked with her clients around building posture in cybersecurity, cloud, and services-- and focuses her work around the financial services industry. She has spoken in front of audiences for a technological mogul and has also shared insight to high schoolers on the importance of stepping in STEM. Taylor is passionate about the youth -- and sees a future for them in technology. Taylor also spends time talking to students about leadership and the importance of being a leader now, for the sake of the future.

Throughout Taylor’s childhood, she was always determined and focused on her success no matter any obstacle she faced. She found that having a small seed planted inside of her by her family, allowed this idea of reaching her fullest potential to manifest. The idea of being able to accomplish anything itself was enough for Taylor to believe and is how she came to terms with believing in her path. This fostering of the seed planted is a reoccurring theme throughout her life.  More importantly, as she matriculated, she found that all along the growing of the seed was transpired by God.  It took her realizing that God was there all along in enabling her confidence as well as her belief and that it was up to her to step in her proper directed path. Taylor has seen the impact and benefit of the planting of the seed and is devoted to helping others see their own potential so that they may achieve full-on success and sprout towards purpose and destiny.

Taylor has been able to share life lessons and insights with many audiences. She has spoken in front of congregations, in front of classrooms, and even at conferences. Taylor also has served in many roles of leadership and focuses on uplifting her community through outreach and volunteerism. She has been a Toastmaster for over four years and has served her club as a Presiding officer and Vice President. She is also currently a Big Sister at Big Brothers Big Sisters of Atlanta and mentors a fourteen-year-old girl,  who she has mentored for the past four years. Taylor is a University of Georgia graduate and in her day to day-- works within the project management realm of business within technology. Taylor looks to support in the business and workplace for her colleagues, in the community for the youth, and for all of those seeking the path that God has led for their life. She encourages the youth to find passion, follow dreams and reach their fullest potential. She inspires them through technology -- and her own life’s path and journey.

Taylor aspires to continue spreading love and encouragement through the same grounds that propelled her forward. She believes that not only is technology the future for the development of the youth, but if we can share kindness and gifts in helping others, we are closer to becoming better people for ourselves, one another, and the world.
