Bio
Ally Bala
Taylor is a great person to work with and to be around. She is a motivated person who will always go the extra mile to get things done. Taylor and I were Co-Coordinators for a benefit concert we put together at Ferris State in 2019, and I truly enjoyed working with her to put on a great show for the campus and community. It has been a pleasure to work with her in Entertainment Unlimited and other organizations at Ferris State University. I hope we get to work together again in the future as she's a great leader and gives her all in everything she does. I look forward to seeing where her career will lead her in the future!

Taylor is one of the best people I’ve had the pleasure of working with. She is always up for a challenge and is always willing to work hard to reach her goals. She’s driven for success. I’ve watched her grow as a person and as a leader these last four years. She’s passionate about this industry and I can’t wait to watch her excel.
