Talor is the Healthy Policy Coordinator at Women for a Healthy Environment managing our core policy and advocacy initiatives, including regional coalition-building for issues including childhood lead poisoning and radon in schools. Within her role, she also serves as the Coordinator/Researcher of the Southwestern Pennsylvania Cancer and Environment Network, a regional collaboration among entities/groups dedicated to cancer prevention and environmental health, in partnership with the Lowell Center for Sustainable Production at the University of Massachusetts Lowell. Talor is passionate about community-driven change and policy solutions to improve the well-being of humans and their environments by dismantling systems of oppression. She is adamant that our ZIP code should not determine our health. Before moving to Pittsburgh and joining the WHE team in summer 2019, she spent the beginnings of her career as a community organizer in grassroots campaigns related to healthy affordable housing and anti-displacement. She is a graduate of the Calvin College (now Calvin University) CSWE accredited Bachelor in Social Work Program in Grand Rapids, MI. Off the clock you can catch her tending to her 100+ house plants, telling her roommate's cats they're handsome, discovering the next best vegetarian dish Pittsburgh has to offer, stress cleaning and baking, hiking rain or shine, or anxiously waiting for live concerts to be a thing again.
