"Up for any challenge" is the phrase that comes to mind when I think of Taylor. I have had the pleasure of working with her at Earthly Gourmet for about a year now. I am always in awe of how ambitious she is - a true self starter. She is also highly creative and passionate about her vegan lifestyle. Earthly Gourmet is very lucky to have Taylor as such an integral part of our team.
