Hi, I’m Taylor! I am a Mexican-American actor, singer, and clown based in NYC. You may have seen me recently performing original clown and character work at the Brooklyn Comedy Collective, UCB, or The Idiot Hour.

​

I’ve loved performing since I was a toddler (seriously, I had to be dragged off stage at my first ballet recital for blowing too many kisses). As an actress, I gravitate toward new work and creating quirky but sincere characters from scratch.

​

I grew up on the border of the U.S. and Mexico in Las Cruces, New Mexico, and studied musical theater at Oklahoma City University. After college, I became Miss New Mexico and used my platform to expand access to arts education across the state. I fundraised money for public school band and orchestra classes to provide them with instruments and organized concerts, galleries and performance opportunities for art students around New Mexico.

​

Now, I split my time between auditioning, working in Audience Engagement at Ars Nova Theater, teaching elementary school theater, volunteering as a session leader with Sing For Your Seniors, and running my small business DoReyMi Designs, where I sell handmade and embroidered fiber art. I’m also a 500-hour registered yoga teacher, actively teaching classes and leading teacher trainings focused on creating spaces that feel safe enough for people to move, breathe, and play - because life is a lot, and sometimes we just need a breath.
