Conferences and traveling were such an adventure

Taylor, you always kept me on my toes,

I would have been absolutely lost without you in my corner in grad school. You were always reminding me about deadlines and other important things. You were so thoughtful, caring and selfless. It was the little things that always showed me how big your heart was. Go Bruins 💛🐻💙 -JMO

We bonded over our Japan adventures and hedgehogs. I'll do more of these adventures in your memory. You'd be proud to know I'll have my next life chapter there soon. <3

Taylor would often visit our lab space and make hours disappear. She always knew what to say to brighten up the room. Her positive attitude made me feel invincible. I miss her kind smile and the way she'd open the TC room using a kimwipe.

She introduced me to a bunch of delicious food in LA and now I can't eat ramen without thinking about her.

Miss you friend,
Carina

Thank you 💜

You were the first upper classmate to talk to me at the MBI retreat. You made me feel welcome and I will always cheris that memory. I still remember your kind smile. Thank you Taylor.

Dear Taylor,

I found your business card the other day... It reminded me of your sweet personality and how your light still shines bright in the Gilliam community <3
I hope I have half the confidence to hand out my business cards like you handed out yours!

I remember we were hanging out on the dock with Luis while on a break during MBI Retreat last year and we started doing a little yoga together. It was such a simple and peaceful moment overlooking the water. I miss that. And I miss you.

You were the first upperclassman that made me feel seen. I will never forget your kindness, generosity, and compassion for others. Your passion for science was contagious. I miss our foodie exchanges. Found a stout I think you’d like. You’re always in my heart and I miss you. -GH

Taylor, thank you for being an amazing mentor. You made the science field feel welcoming. I admired how brilliant you were and how organized you were. You led by example. I was following your footsteps with MARC which you encouraged and inspired me to join. You were always so helpful! I appreciate you giving me poster presentation advice too. It felt nice having you in my corner. Thank you for taking pictures of me at my poster presentation. I am extremely blessed to have met you and have you as a role model...

Thank you

Taylor you changed my life. I am unimaginably lucky to have known you for a short time. You were both an inspiration and proof of everything I wanted to become. I'll always be thankful for you and remember you. I miss you.
