Members, we are so fortunate to welcome Taylor P. to the team! She is service driven, super smart and simply delightful :) Check out her bio (or even better come in and meet her in person): "Hey there! I originally went through school for archaeology, and specialized in human osteology. Through this specialization, I studied health, diet, and disease of past human populations by analyzing the human skeletal remains from archaeological sites. Recently, I discovered that I wanted to change my focus from studying the dead, to helping the living! I have a love for learning and researching about the human body, so I take as many courses as possible to grow my knowledge and understanding of the field. I am excited to use my knowledge and encouragement to help our members reach their health and fitness goals!"
