“What excites me about working at Edgility Search is the chance to partner with an organization I’ve long admired for its commitment to education reform and its effectiveness in matching candidates with great organizations. I’m particularly drawn to Edgility Search’s mission-driven approach, its alignment with my own values, and the opportunity to work with a talented, female-led team. The collaborative effort to find exceptional leaders for schools across the country is both inspiring and motivating for me." Bio Taylor’s path in education began as a high school student in Santa Barbara, CA, where she observed clear differences in educational experiences between student groups. Motivated by her father’s service on the Santa Barbara School Board and his efforts to improve local schools, Taylor developed an early interest in public education. That interest deepened at the University of Southern California, and just a month after graduation, she joined Teach For America and began teaching high school English at Locke High School in Los Angeles. From day one, Taylor knew she wanted to build a career focused on improving public education. She eventually found a strong alignment with the mission of charter schools and has worked at networks including Achievement First and KIPP. Twenty years later, she remains deeply committed to driving results in the education sector. For the first seven years of her career, Taylor worked in schools: first as a high school English teacher through Teach For America, and later as an Assistant Principal at Achievement First in Brooklyn. While originally on the path to becoming a school leader, she discovered a passion for recruiting and transitioned into talent work—ultimately serving as the Senior Director of School Leader Recruitment at Achievement First, where she led searches for internal and external leaders across 34 schools in three states. Later, as Director of National Recruitment at the KIPP Foundation, Taylor created KIPP’s first-ever Recruitment Playbook and led training and coaching for 19 KIPP regions. Her work led to significant progress in hiring timelines: the percentage of roles filled by the end of the school year jumped from 63% to 92% in just one year. Following her time at KIPP, Taylor launched her own executive search practice, where she spent five years partnering with nonprofits and education organizations across the country to identify and place top leadership talent. In 2024, she joined Edgility Consulting, where she continues to support mission-driven organizations in finding leaders who can drive meaningful impact. She is a member of Phi Beta Kappa and earned her undergraduate degree in Communication and American Studies from the University of Southern California. She later completed a graduate degree in Secondary Education at Loyola Marymount University.
