Maiah Taylor is a New College of Florida graduate, having earned her undergraduate degree in Psychology and Sociology. She is currently a graduate student at the University of South Florida- St. Petersburg studying psychology while also conducting research regarding mental toughness, personality, and benefit finding. Over the past 4 years Maiah has worked alongside HIV/AIDS Advocates, case managers, and community mobilizers at CARES Outreach and Services in Sarasota, Florida.

At USCA I would like to contribute positive dialogue with others regarding how todays youth could best benefit from preventative programming.
