Taylor Shimek, Managing Editor
Taylor is a hardworking, passionate journalist with a solid foundation in academics and a continual quest for self-discovery. Family has played a crucial role in shaping who Taylor is today. As an only child, she has received focused support from her mom and dad. In her free time, Taylor enjoys reading and traveling.
While she does not have a favorite book series, some titles have particularly resonated with her. Michelle Zauner’s memoir Crying in H Mart is one of her favorite novels due to its rich exploration of Korean culture, which connects with Taylor’s half-Korean heritage. She likes Sylvia Plath’s The Bell Jar, which has been compelling, especially through a feminist lens. Travel is another significant passion for Taylor. She’s had opportunities to travel to many locations, with Paris standing out as a favorite. Her experiences abroad in Paris have broadened her perspective and deepened their appreciation for diverse cultures.
